Ilham Aliyev: Every scenario is possible in settlement of the  Karabakh conflict

ArmInfo.Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev again spoke about any means for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Thus, Aliyev, at a meeting with representatives of the public and  artists from the Agdam region, once again assured that Azerbaijan  from a military point of view is a powerful state not only in  comparison with Armenia, but also on a global scale. He pointed to  the intention to further build up military power, expressing the  conviction that this is one of the most important factors for  negotiations. "Unfortunately, the norms of international law are  completely ignored. We will achieve what we want. We demand justice.  We demand that our historical lands be freed from invaders, and they  will be freed. The Azerbaijani state will continue to take all  necessary measures to achieve this sacred goal. I hope that the  leadership of Armenia, having correctly analyzed the situation in the  region, will soon withdraw its occupying forces. Otherwise, any  option is possible and we are ready to any scenario",  Aliyev said.

At the same time, he tried to raise the moral and psychological  spirit of his own society by praising the events of April 2016, when  the armed forces of Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military  aggression against Artsakh. Aliyev said that the April battles are  the glorious history of Azerbaijan, a great historical victory. At  the same time, he assured that in the course of these events, tens of  thousands of hectares of territories were liberated. "The April  battles are our big victory, a manifestation of the irreconcilable  spirit of Azerbaijan.

At the same time, he assured that it was in April 2016 that a  "Armenia'і regime "was dealt a powerful blow." I have repeatedly said  that the regime of Armenia the criminal junta should be condemned by  the entire global community. I said that people who govern Armenia  are the leaders of the regime of the criminal junta. Now the Armenian  people themselves state this. That is, at present, the Armenian  people speak and see everything that we talked about. The changes  that have taken place in Armenia this year mean the complete collapse  of their aggressive policy, this is first. Secondly, these events  indicate that our policy gives results. I have repeatedly said, I  want to say today, there is no need to hide it, we will further  isolate Armenia from all regional projects, using all means, restore  our territorial integrity. The new leadership of Armenia should not  repeat the mistakes of the former criminal regime, it should soon  through negotiations withdraw the occupying forces and allow the  citizens of Azerbaijan to return to their native, historical,  ancestral lands. The sooner they understand this, the better it will  be for them, for the region.  Once again I want to say that we do not  intend to put up with such a situation, the norms of international  law fully support our position, historical justice is on our side,  "Aliyev once again tried to convince his people.

At the same time, the leader of the state with just a century-long  history spoke about the age-old centuries- old belonging of  Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan. At the same time, he tried to justify  that allegedly, as a result of the chaos, the events that occurred in  Azerbaijan in the early 1990s, Armenia, with external support,  allegedly managed to conquer some of the Azerbaijani lands, while not  mentioning that during these times Karabakh people fought for its  existence and independence, and was able to avoid complete  extermination. "But two years ago we demonstrated that we could  liberate and liberated our lands by military means. As a result of a  successful operation we carried out this year in the Nakhijevan  direction of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, more than ten thousand  hectares of land passed under our control, including heights of  strategic importance. Today we fully control strategic  communications, roads, including roads in Armenia, communications  leading to Nagorno-Karabakh, "Aliyev said.
