The OSCE Minsk Group was established in 1992 to solve this issue and for 28 years worked to no avail. The result of the Minsk Group was zero. The co-chairs of the Minsk Group are the leading countries of the world, nuclear powers and permanent members of the UN Security Council. Of course, if There was a serious pressure on Armenia and, taking into account the requirements of Azerbaijan, sanctions would be imposed, the question could have been decided by peaceful way. ” According to Interfax-Azerbaijan, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, speaking at the informal summit of the Cooperation Council of Turkic-speaking states.
Head of State noted that, unfortunately, this did not happen, on the contrary, steps were taken to freeze the issue.
“In fact, Armenia refused negotiations. If in previous years there was an imitation of negotiations, the last two or three years openly and defiantly stated that Azerbaijan will not be returned to the Pins of Azerbaijani land. In addition, irresponsible and provocative actions and statements by Armenia’s leadership They made negotiations almost meaningless. Two years ago, the Armenian leader said that “Karabakh is Armenia and the point.” Of course, we answered it, and the most serious answer was given on the battlefield. However, this in itself says that The leadership of Armenia considered the question of solved and did not want to return the lands, “said the President of Azerbaijan.
The head of state also said that from the first day of the war, Azerbaijan received great support from fraternal Turkey. “My dear brother, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, September 27, on the day of the beginning of the war, openly expressed support to Azerbaijan. This political and moral support was of great importance. Of course, it was a very serious signal. This allowed us to conduct a successful counteroffensive without interfering of external forces . I have always said that without foreign intervention, Azerbaijan can resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in a short time, which happened, “said President Ilham Aliyev.
