Prezident İlham Əliyev.
Baku/26.02.21/Turan: “We are monitoring the situation in Armenia, and this cannot but interest us. This is an internal affair of Armenia and we do not interfere. Whoever is in power, and no matter how events unfold, rejection of the agreement on November 10 would be suicide." This was stated by President Ilham Aliyev during a press conference on February 26.
“The document is signed not only by the Prime Minister of Armenia, but also by the President of Russia. Refusal from the agreement would have been a blow to the prestige of Russia. As the Russian President has already said, it would be an act of suicide,” Aliyev said.
As for communication with Nikol Pashinyan, now there is no communication. It stopped after the well-known statements and provocative steps of the Armenian Prime Minister, the head of Azerbaijan noted.
When asked about bringing Armenia to responsibility for the damage caused in the occupied territories, Aliyev said that the calculation of the damage caused continues and is being documented. Citizens of the country will be able to apply to courts (local and international) with a claim for compensation. International structures with relevant experience will also take part in this.
International companies that illegally exploited our natural resources in the occupied lands will also be brought to justice. "They must pay us compensation or answer in court," Aliyev stressed. -02B-
