President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev stated that the Armenian side must present the schedule for the withdrawal of their army from Nagorno-Karabakh for the military operations to stop.
Reported the Japanese ‘newsweekjapan.jp’ website. The publication noted that President Ilham Aliyev addressed the nation on Azerbaijani TV and informed the people that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces were successfully advancing to liberate the territories occupied by the Armenian army in the 1990s.
The article cited President Aliyev as he announced that Nagorno-Karabakh belonged to Azerbaijan and quoted him, as he explained the condition of the Azerbaijani side for the conflict to cease: ‘I have only one condition – they must leave our lands and stop the conflict. But not merely in words, they must show it in deeds.’
The article also repeated the Azerbaijani President’s criticism of the international community, as the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council, which demanded that Armenia return Azerbaijani lands for nearly 30 years, had still not been fulfilled.
The website reported that President Ilham Aliyev made it abundantly clear that he did not accept the requests of Russia, the United States, and the European Union to stop hostilities urgently.
The article also touched upon the history of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, noting that military operations had intensified in the early 1990s, killing 30,000 as a result. The publication accounted that the Armenian army had also occupied the adjacent districts to Nagorno-Karabakh.
The article also reflected the fact that the conflict poses a threat to Azerbaijan’s oil and gas pipelines, which play a crucial role in the energy security of Eurasia.
