BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 9. There are no obstacles to achieve peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during his speech at the opening of the 10th Global Baku Forum themed “The World of Today: Challenges and Hopes”, Trend reports.
"We did not commit any war crimes, unlike Armenians. We did not commit genocide, unlike Armenians did to us. We took revenge on the battlefield. So, now it's time for peace. Therefore, right after the war ended in November 2020, we launched an initiative to start peaceful negotiations and presented the famous five principles, which could be a basis for peace agreement with Armenia. We hope that international actors, which try to facilitate will persuade Armenia not to lose this chance. They lost the chance to become an independent country. They become totally dependent, kind of a colony of other country, and now maybe other countries. So, they lost their chance to become really independent and to build their future, because of aggression against us.
So, now it's a chance for them to start behaving as a neighbor to its neighbors. So, we want peace. We don't want any other war. And we think that peace is achievable. And what has been agreed between Azerbaijan and Armenia last October, particularly respect to each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity actually demonstrates that there are no obstacles to achieve peace," President Ilham Aliyev said.
