BAKU, JANUARY 17, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev has
resumed his belligerent rhetoric telling a gathering of his country
fellows in Agdam region bordering Nagorno-Karabakh that the war with
Armenia was not over yet.
"Although Armenia repeats from time to time that it has won the war,
it is not true, as only the first phase of the war is over," Aliyev
told Thursday.
Aliyev cited increased military spending and steady economic growth
as guarantees of bringing Nagorno-Karabakh back.
Aliyev claimed that in the past Armenia was ready to pull put its
troops from four regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Now, seeing
the growing economic might of Azerbaijan, he said, Yerevan is willing
to return all seven regions.
According to Aliyev, this is evidence that Azerbaijan will soon attain
to its ultimate goal. He further claimed that authorities in Yerevan
realize well that time is not playing into their hands.
"Nagorno-Karabakh will never be independent. This is also supported
by the international mediators.
Armenia accepts, though unwillingly, this reality, ' he was quoted
by Trend news agency as saying.
