Ilham Aliyev: On border with Armenia, we are on our native land

Two years after the end of the Second Karabakh war, Armenia continues to conduct military provocations on the border. In September, the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan were forced to begin a decisive counterattack operation to prevent the military provocation of Armenia, President Ilham Aliyev in Samarkand during a speech at the IX summit of the organization of Turkic states.

“In order to confuse the world public, Armenia is unjustly trying to accuse Azerbaijan of military aggression. We categorically reject these unreasonable claims. We fought on our lands, defeated the Armenian army and expelled it from our original lands. Today we are still on native lands in the direction of the Azerbaijani-Armenian border. Azerbaijan and Armenia officially recognized the territorial integrity and sovereignty of each other in joint declarations adopted in Prague and Sochi in October. This once again shows that the Karabakh conflict remained in history.

The results of the Second of the Karabakh war open up new opportunities for the region. Azerbaijan is actively promoting the creation of the Zangezur corridor and carries out large -scale measures related to the corridor on its territory. All countries of the region will win from the opening of the Zangesur corridor, ”said the head of state.
