President Ilham Aliyev: None of the enemy's provocations will remain unanswered

Baku, April 4, AZERTAC

“None of the enemy's provocations will remain unanswered. The enemy will continue to receive an adequate response. The Azerbaijani army is capable of doing that. The sons of Azerbaijan are defending the homeland, fighting for their country and becoming martyrs. Memory of all our martyrs will live in our hearts forever,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he chaired a meeting of the Security Council.

“Armenia does not want peace. Armenia does not want to vacate the occupied lands, and all of its efforts are aimed at maintaining the status quo to the maximum extent possible. These words rest on a lot of evidence.”

The President said: “The process of negotiations has been going on for more than 20 years. Over these 20 years, at decisive moments, Armenia has always resorted to provocations. Armenia constantly creates tension on the line of contact. The terrorist act in the Armenian parliament at the end of last century also pursued this goal - to prevent the achievement of a possible agreement in connection with the conflict and thus to preserve the status quo.”
