Ilham Aliyev: We are a hundred times more reason not to recognize territorial integrity of Armenia

Our policy is completely clear, both during the period of war and in connection with the settlement of the former Karabakh conflict and the future. We proposed that both countries recognize the territorial integrity of each other, began work on delimiting borders and on the process of opening communications, and also signed a peace treaty. This was announced by Ilham Aliyev President in an interview with Azerbaijani media.

“Signing a peaceport, though not a 100 percent guarantee, but in any case, largely minimizes the risk of war. Although we also need to know that any peace treaty can become simply a piece of paper for Armenia. Regardless will be He signed or not, as I said, we must and will constantly increase our military power.

And the Armenian side still fluctuates. This suggests that official circles have not yet formed their opinion on this issue.

On the other hand, they understand that if the peace treaty will be signed, then it will necessarily need a provision on mutual recognition of territorial integrity, and they must be ready for this.

It is not necessary that our benevolent attitude will last forever and these proposals will always lie on the table. If they do not want to recognize our territorial integrity, then we do not recognize their territorial integrity. We have a hundred times more for this basis.

The city of Irevian was transferred to Armenia on May 29, 1918. That is, as they say, there are many factors in order not to recognize the territorial integrity of Armenia. But despite this, for the sake of the future of the world, for the sake of establishing relations between countries, we are ready for this. But I can not guarantee that the same will be the same in six months. Do not want, well, let it not be. Then let’s see what will be, “said the head of state.
