BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 31
Trend:
If Azerbaijan sees a slightest threat to the security of its people and state, it will immediately destroy the enemy on the spot, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said, addressing the meeting with members of Aghdam general public, Trend reports.
“Unfortunately, the Armenian side has yet to give up provocative actions. I already spoke about this in Nakhchivan on May 10. They also know our strength and see it. Therefore, the provocation committed by the Armenian army on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border in recent days should not have remained unanswered and it did not. They were disgraced yet again. Look, the whole world is laughing at them now. The prime minister puts forward one theory of events and the deputy chief of the general staff another – and it happens on the same day," said the president.
"In other words, in 30 years the Armenians failed to build a state. This means that this people cannot build a state,” President Aliyev said. "This means that this people can only live within other large states. Using the capabilities of these large states, they can build life for themselves there. In 30 years, they had a unique chance – if it had not been for this occupation and hostility, if the Armenians had not committed these atrocities against our people, then Armenia, too, could possibly live as an independent state today."
"Look at the disgraceful state they are in now. They openly admit that they cannot defend their state and their borders. They are playing the blame game – the current government blames the previous one and the previous government blames the current one. In fact, they are all guilty because they made a big mistake. They did not think that they would find themselves in such a helpless position, and they themselves are the culprits of all their troubles,” the head of state said.
