“Self-determination can take many forms, there can be different types of communities. For example, there can be cultural autonomy. We see this in the example of developed European countries, where people have certain rights within their municipalities, within their communities. there may be such contacts, “said the Azerbaijani leader.

At the same time, he stressed that “the establishment of a second Armenian state on the territory of Azerbaijan will never be allowed” and that the army will continue to seize the “occupied lands”.

Intense fighting resumed in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on 27 September.

Azerbaijani forces are reportedly being assisted by Turkish armed forces officers and Turkish-organized Syrian militants.

There have been hostile relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia since the 1990s, when there was a war over Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly Armenian population.

Nagorno-Karabakh, which was part of the Azerbaijani SSR during the Soviet era, has been a “de facto” independent Armenian republic since the early 1990s. Although Azerbaijan has not controlled Nagorno-Karabakh since the collapse of the USSR, it considers the Armenian region to be its territory. Nagorno-Karabakh is also considered by the international community to be part of Azerbaijan, and no country has recognized the region as an independent state.
