The Voice of Vietnam (VOV), one of the most-read news agencies based in Vietnam, has published an article highlighting the interview of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev with the Turkish TV channel Haber Turk.
The article reflected President Ilham Aliyev’s position on the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
“At the first stage, the Armenian armed forces must withdraw from the occupied territories. In principle, this issue has already been reaffirmed within the Minsk Group – five districts, then two districts, then Nagorno-Karabakh itself, Shusha, Khankandi – the Azerbaijanis lived in many villages there. Azerbaijani citizens must return there and discussions on the future of Nagorno-Karabakh in a new environment, in a new climate will be continued,” the Vietnamese news agency cited the Azerbaijani leader as saying.
“There is no change in our position on the Armenians living there. Azerbaijan is a multiethnic state. Thousands of Armenians live in different parts of Azerbaijan, especially in Baku, and they are our citizens. There are many ethnicities living in our country and this increases the strength of our country. Therefore, the Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh should not be worried at all. Once we save their lives from that criminal junta, they will live better, safer, in a more secure environment,” President Ilham Aliyev added.
The Voice of Vietnam pointed out that President Ilham Aliyev also spoke about the plan for the development of Nagorno-Karabakh after the region’s liberation. “We will invest in it, we will implement social programs there, we will have programs to create jobs.”
