`Azerbaijan will restore its sovereignty through peaceful or military means`
Baku, July 29 (AZERTAC). “There will come a time when Azerbaijan will restore its sovereignty over Nagorno-Karabakh through peaceful or military means,” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev told a joint news conference with Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
On the Armenian President`s latest statement, the Azerbaijani leader said he did not expect anything else from Sargsyan after meeting him many times.
“I am well aware of his way of thinking. In essence, this exposes the aggressive essence of Armenia. This country is gripped by problems. Tens of thousands of people are leaving the country. The country's economy is in a complete crisis - there is poverty, destitution, hopelessness,” he said.
“They think they resolved the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. They are wrong. Nagorno-Karabakh is Azerbaijani land and will remain as such. There will come a time when Azerbaijan will restore its sovereignty over Nagorno-Karabakh through peaceful or military means,” he added.
