Azerbaijan won't allow establishment of another Armenian state in its territory
Azerbaijan will not allow the establishment of the second Armenian state in Azerbaijani territory, says President Ilham Aliyev.
"Armenia attempted another military provocation against Azerbaijan in early April, but it was thwarted. Azerbaijan was able to defend its territory and reinforce its positions," Aliyev said at an expanded meeting of the Cabinet of ministers dealing with the outcomes of the country's socioeconomic development in the first quarter of 2016 on Saturday.
Azerbaijan is capable of defending its territory, Aliyev said. "We don't have territorial claims on other countries. We are not going to give up our territories and will never allow the establishment of the second Armenian state on Azerbaijani soil," Aliyev said.
For the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh to be resolved, the Armenian armed forces must leave "the occupied territories of Azerbaijan" and Azerbaijanis must return to their homes, Aliyev said. "After that, peace and stability will settle in the region," he said.
