Baku / 05.11.20 / Turan: President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev believes that in the current situation there is "no point" in negotiationse with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to discuss the settlement of the conflict in Karabakh. Aliyev called the meetings at the level of the foreign ministers of the two countries with the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs a suitable format for negotiations.
In an interview with the Spanish agency EFE, Aliyev noted that he had repeatedly negotiated with Pashinyan, but almost all of the meetings were "useless."
“It doesn't make any sense. I have had many meetings with him over the past two years. However, all of them were useless and senseless, with the exception of the first ones, in which he promised that if Azerbaijan gives him time, he would strengthen his political positions in Armenia. After that, he will constructively work on the implementation of the basic principles of the settlement,” Aliyev said.
“He told me so in the first months of coming to power in Armenia, but a year later he began to say something completely different,” Aliyev said.
Later, Pashinyan said that “he would not give up an inch of land to Azerbaijan”, that “Karabakh is Armenia”, that Azerbaijan should negotiate with the authorities of the self-proclaimed NKR. “He did everything to disrupt the negotiation process,” Aliyev said.
“So now I see no point in meeting him. Our foreign ministers met recently in Geneva, and I think that now this is a suitable format for communication between Baku and Yerevan,” Aliyev said.
Aliyev reiterated that he did not want war and was ready to end it immediately if Pashinyan presented a schedule for the withdrawal of troops from Aghdam, Kelbajar and Lachin regions.
"We do not want to continue hostilities. And I have said this many times and I repeat now: if the Prime Minister of Armenia, who is responsible for this bloodshed, personally makes such a statement, we are ready to immediately stop the war," the President of Azerbaijan stressed. -06D-
