“We support the territorial integrity of Ukraine, like other countries, and openly declare this, do not hide behind a tree. Yes, we do not deny that we have good relations with Russia. The principles of international law should in no case be distorted Due to political superiority. ” The President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said this to participants in the international conference: Development and Cooperation.
According to the head of state, the international community selectively related to Azerbaijan in the issue of its territorial integrity.
“Even before the events in Ukraine, the international community always, in a very open form, supported the territorial integrity of Georgia and Moldova. But when it came to us, the message was the following:” Conclude a peace treaty with Armenia. “
But how can you conclude peace with an aggressor who seized your lands? We tried to achieve this for 17 years, and made sure that this was impossible. Then we saw the following: the more we tried to achieve peace, the more aggressively the aggressor became. Armenia has already begun to threaten us with a new war. They said: “Karabakh is Armenia,” but now they say, “Karabakh is Azerbaijan.” And who says that? The same people who called Karabakh Armenian in 2019. We created new realities, with our own hands, at the expense of our power, our spirit, ”the president of Azerbaijan emphasized.
