Ilham Aliyev on normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia

“With regard to the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, we, of course, wish the world in the whole region. I think that the 3 + 3 platform proposed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will be the best way for this. But Armenia does not accept this yet. Now it is voiced by the President of Turkey. Armenia is provided with a chance. Although Erdogan’s initiative supported Azerbaijan, Russia supported Iran, Armenia opposed. Armenia, opposing it, now declares the desire to normalize relations with Turkey. First of all, to answer this proposal. If you want to normalize the relationship. Otherwise, the contradiction will arise again, “Anadolu President of Azerbaijan said in an interview with the Turkish news agency.

“Of course, it will be easier to analyze if ever official statements of Armenia will be coordinated with real policies.

It is also well known that the text of the Constitution of Armenia contains references to territorial claims to Turkey. They should refuse it. First of all, they must develop and adopt a new constitution. How can such a weak and fully destroyed country, like Armenia, present territorial claims to such a strong country as Turkey? This is something like a mental illness. Therefore, they must refuse it. They should refuse complaints about Azerbaijan. They must normalize their relations with Azerbaijan, and I am sure that the Turkish side has always advocated peace and large-scale cooperation in the region. So today, “said the head of the Azerbaijani state.

President Aliyev noted the fact that “very positive signals come from Turkey. But it is necessary that they are correctly appreciated in Armenia. Although, unfortunately, positive signals, data from Azerbaijan two years before the start of the second Karabakh war, were perceived It is wrong there. Like our weakness, powerlessness. However, we did not want to shed blood. We knew our strength. They knew that we could solve the problem of force. Armenia did not believe in it. But it’s not too late. Let Armenia correctly perceive the newly formed reality. Takes steps in accordance with this reality, look at the card and find yourself there, if, of course, it will be able, it is only a point, and it should take the appropriate steps. In this case, large-scale cooperation in the region is possible. “
