BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 18. We have never allowed outside forces to interfere in our internal affairs, President Ilham Aliyev said, being interviewed by Azerbaijani TV channels, following the Munich Security Conference, Trend reports.
"I am glad that the Munich Security Conference as a reputable international forum pays a special attention to this issue. You might have seen that the number of participants was quite large and the interest was quite strong. If this discussion lasted a couple of hours more, no one would have left the meeting.
As for Azerbaijan's position, our position is unequivocal and clear. I have expressed it in closed-door meetings and in my official statements. Today, at the event initiated by Secretary of State Blinken, I stated that we are supporters of justice. We have never allowed outside forces to interfere in our internal affairs and we will never allow it. Karabakh is Azerbaijan! I said this before the war. Today, not only me but also the whole world is saying and seeing this," President Ilham Aliyev said.
