Aliyev: Baku is ready for contacts with Armenians of Karabakh, but for this, Vardanyan must leave

“We are ready to begin practical communications with representatives of the Armenian community of Karabakh.” This was said by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, speaking at a panel discussion on the topic “Overcoming the mountains? Building security in the South Caucasus” as part of the Munich Security Conference.

“Today I reported this to my Armenian colleague in the presence of Secretary of State Blinken. But we will be able to start this only when a Russian citizen, a criminal oligarch, a person who was engaged in money laundering in Europe, – Ruben Vardanyan will leave our territory” , – noted the head of state.
