Aliyev recalled that at one time Azerbaijan was ready to provide the Armenians living in the country with a certain level of self-government. However, they have always rejected this.
“They always said:“ No, only independence. ”And now, after the end of the conflict, they talk about autonomy. But this is not on our agenda,” the Azerbaijani leader stressed, adding that all ethnic groups living in the country are citizens of Azerbaijan.
The head of state stressed that the issue of granting autonomy to the Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh is no longer a topic for discussion. He also noted that any statements that the conflict is not resolved are “inappropriate and dangerous.”
“Let those who say that the conflict is not resolved indicate how it should be resolved. What do they mean when they say” Nagorno-Karabakh “? Within what borders, on what territory and in what form? There is not even a hint of an answer Therefore, to say that the conflict has not been resolved is unproductive and dangerous. This means that other hostile actions are needed to resolve it, “he stressed.
