President Ilham Aliyev: Karabakh remains an integral part of Azerbaijan and will remain as such forever

The Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has ended. This conflict has already been resolved. Karabakh remains an integral part of Azerbaijan and will remain as such forever,” said President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he made a press statement with President of the Arab Republic of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Report informs via AZERTAC.

“Having already ended the occupation, we have come closer to peace. Peace has not yet been achieved. The peace treaty to be signed between Azerbaijan and Armenia will lead to the achievement of peace. We have made explicit proposals and, despite all the suffering and destruction, we still believe that a peace treaty must be signed. Otherwise, the dangers in our region may increase. Azerbaijan ended the nearly 30 years of occupation by military and political means, restored its territorial integrity and implemented four UN resolutions. However, the UN itself should have implemented these resolutions. The need for UN Security Council reforms is based on this. Because we had been waiting for the implementation of these resolutions for almost 30 years, but we didn’t see it. Therefore, both double standards and discrimination prevailed there. By fighting this war, we ended the occupation and restored justice. Now we are building and creating a life new in the liberated lands. Seeing all the ruins, we see again what scourge we have saved Azerbaijan and the region from,” the head of state said.
