“I have one answer to Pashinyan’s seven demands” - Ilham Aliyev
Baku / 31.07.20 / Turan: Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan put forward seven conditions for the continuation of negotiations on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, and all of them are unacceptable. This was stated by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on July 30, speaking to the public in Balakan.
One of Pashinyan's conditions is for Azerbaijan to start negotiations with the separatists of Karabakh. “Nobody recognizes them, including Armenia itself. If they can, let them try to admit it, but if they do not, then they are afraid! ”Aliyev said. Arguing with such frivolous conditions, Armenia breaks down the negotiation process. This and all other conditions are nonsense, which Azerbaijan categorically rejects, Aliyev said.
“I have one answer to all his conditions, and this is our condition: Let the Armenian armed forces leave our land. It was about this that negotiations were always conducted, when and by what stages our territories will be liberated. We have never held negotiations on granting independence to Nagorno-Karabakh,” Aliyev said.
Recall that on July 23, Pashinyan made a statement that after the fighting on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border on July 12-14, the situation has changed and now Armenia puts forward the following conditions:
1. The common security system of Armenia and Karabakh must be strengthened;
2. Karabakh must become a full-fledged party to the negotiations;
3. Azerbaijan must publicly renounce the use of force and stop anti-Armenian rhetoric;
4. Azerbaijan must abandon maximalist demands and recognize the right of Karabakh to self-determination, the security of Armenia and Karabakh will not be subject to concessions;
5. The countries supplying arms to Azerbaijan must stop these supplies;
6. It is necessary to introduce a system of international monitoring, recording who violated the ceasefire;
7. Turkey cannot be a mediator in the settlement of the conflict. -02D-

On August 31, Azerbaijan observes a "day of silence" before the Sunday’s early parliamentary elections for the unicameral Milli Majlis. All electoral campaigning is prohibited 24 hours before the voting. The early elections were initiated by the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan Party.
