Ilham Aliyev: If Armenia continues to put under question Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, Azerbaijan will have to take analogical steps

“From a historical point of view, we have much more rights to do it. Because the history of the last century clearly shows that in November 1920, six months after the Sovietization of Azerbaijan, the Soviet government took the historical part of Azerbaijan, Zangazur, and adjusted it to Armenia. Therefore, if Armenia will demand status for Armenians in Karabakh, why should not Azerbaijanis demand status for Azerbaijanis in Western Zangazur. Because it was fully inhabited by Azerbaijanis,”

The president noted that this way will lead to a deadlock: “I think Armenian government should not forget lessons of the second Karabakh war and learn that lesson well. And refrain from any kind of territorial claims to Azerbaijan.”
