BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 8. We hope that Armenia will positively respond to our comments on the proposal of peace agreement, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said, making a press statement after the meeting with President of Latvia Egils Levits, Trend reports.
"We have delivered a while ago our proposal, which is based on the norms and principles of international law. We received comments from Armenia. We sent our comments to their comments. So, it is in the process. We hope that we will see a strong political will also from Armenia, and they will make a right decision and not to try to win time as it was during the times of occupation, when we had negotiations for 28 years, which ended, unfortunately, with a serious military outbreak that ended with the liberation of Azerbaijani territories. We had to do it by force, unfortunately. Though, we could have done it by political means, if Armenia behaved constructively," President Ilham Aliyev said.
