Baku/10.01.23/Turan: Unfortunately, India is also among the countries that provide weapons to Armenia, President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview to a number of TV channels on January 10.
“Whatever weapons Armenia receives, it will not save them, and I have spoken about this more than once,” he said. Unfortunately, certain forces in Armenia do not give up their revanchist plans. “However, we are monitoring everything and will take preventive measures if there is a threat to Azerbaijan,” Aliyev continued.
“The separatists in Karabakh believed that the Azerbaijanis would not be able to conduct military operations in this zone. However, we dispelled this myth,” Aliyev said.
Clashes in September at the border were inevitable due to Armenian provocations. “We have full advantage on the border and in Karabakh. The sooner Armenia signs a peace treaty, the better for them. We do not intend to start a third war, but if we see a real threat, then this threat will be eliminated by all available steps,” Aliyev stressed. ---02B--

It has been 35 years since the harrowing night of January 19-20, 1990, when a 35,000-strong army corps, following orders from the Soviet leadership, forcefully entered Baku. This invasive act resulted in numerous civilian casualties, marking a tragic chapter in the struggle for Azerbaijani independence. The Soviet army's incursion into Baku was orchestrated to quell the burgeoning national liberation movement, particularly to thwart the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for March 1990.
