Ilham Aliyev: There will not be a second Armenian state
Baku / 31.10.17 / Turan: Azerbaijan will never allow creating a second Armenian state on its historical land, stated President Ilham Aliyev at a joint briefing with the head of Turkey Erdogan following the talks in Baku on Tuesday. According to him, the topic of the Karabakh conflict was one of the issues discussed with President Erdogan. "I informed him about the current state of the negotiations, unfortunately, the conflict has not been found yet, international organizations show double standards towards Azerbaijan and do not hurry to resolve the conflict," he said. The conflict can be resolved only within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan will never allow the creation of a second Armenian state on its historical land. I once again expressed my gratitude to President Erdogan for the support that Turkey gives to Azerbaijan in this matter. Turkey always supports the rightful cause of Azerbaijan in all international organizations, Aliyev said. He also noted the development of military-technical cooperation between Baku and Ankara. Touching upon the documents signed today, Aliyev noted that they will increase the trade turnover between the two countries. -02D-
