As reported, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev gave an interview to Fox News.
During the interview, the journalist told Ilham Aliyev, “In 1994, you lost the war. Now, in 2020, you want to start the war again to win the war, ”he said.
The position of the President in this regard was unequivocal:
"We did not lose the war," he said. We lost the battle. This was due to objective reasons. First, there was internal instability in Azerbaijan, which was also abused by Armenia.
"But my question is, why do you want to start the war again in 2020?" It has been quiet for 20 years, ”he said.
"Secondly, it happened due to open foreign support for Armenia. We have not started a war. We simply answered, and we do it on the basis of the Charter of the United Nations. The Charter of the United Nations guarantees the right of each country to self-defense.
What we are doing is defending ourselves and we are liberating the internationally recognized territories of Azerbaijan from Armenian occupation. We do nothing more.
As for the Armenian people, I have repeatedly said that the Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh are our citizens, and we will take care of them. They will live in dignity and peace along with the Azerbaijanis who will return there.
