Ilham Aliyev: "The fact that Aghdam has been razed to the ground is
an unprecedented atrocity, this atrocity will not remain unanswered"
Baku - APA. "We will rebuild Aghdam town after it is liberated,
because wild and nasty enemies have completely destroyed this town.
There are photos and footage of present Aghdam. The fact that the
town has been razed to the ground is an unprecedented atrocity. Our
historical monuments, mosques and historical places have been destroyed
and plundered. Who has committed it? Armenians - barbarians have
committed it," said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during the
inspection of the new residential area for IPDs in Barda, APA reports.
The Head of State said that this atrocity will not remain unanswered:
"We will restore our territorial integrity, because there are various
factors. First, Azerbaijan is developing while Armenia is going into
recession. It is a reality. Azerbaijan is gradually strengthening,
while Armenia is gradually weakening. Azerbaijan's economy and military
potential are increasing. Armenia has already admitted that it is not
capable of ensuring its security and the recent events prove it. The
world media also notes that Armenia is taking various steps, as it
fails to ensure its security. But we are living at our own expenses
and ensuring our development and security.
Then come demographic issues. I have underlined this issue repeatedly.
How much has our population increased since the war?! Azerbaijan's
population is 9.4 million. Armenian population has reduced. Currently,
it is fewer than 2 million. The longer Armenian authorities and their
leader Sargsyan remain in power, the sooner our territories will be
liberated. This person and his entourage have led Armenia to collapse.
The economy has collapsed, people are leaving the country. According
to their official statistics, every year 80 000 Armenians leave the
country once and for all. If it continues so, there will be fewer than
one million people after 5-6 years. Our positions are protected on
the line of contact, soldiers have been deployed there, no forces are
protecting the line of contact from the Armenian side. There are gaps.
This process will gradually accelerate more. Because our power is
increasing, at the same time we are keeping Armenia in isolation
to some extent. This is not full isolation, because their borders
are open with other neighbors. But as the borders of Azerbaijan and
Turkey are closed, this is in some sort a serious economic blow for
them. The situation will and must remain so unless the occupied lands
are liberated."
