    AZERBAIJANI PRESIDENT: MY MESSAGE TO ARMENIA: STOP THE OCCUPATION"

    APA, Azerbaijan
    Feb 8 2015

    [ 08 February 2015 03:28 ]

    Baku-APA. President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and
    his wife Mehriban Aliyeva attended the panel "Outside Ukraine -
    unresolved conflicts in Europe" held in the framework of the Munich
    Security Conference, APA reports quoting "Vestnik Kavkaza".

    President of Azerbaijan spoke delivered speech at the panel, then
    answered questions from participants.

    The representative of Armenia addressed to the President of Azerbaijan
    Ilham Aliyev, accusing the Azerbaijani army in the shelling of the
    Armenian positions and increased tensions on the front line.

    President Aliyev said the following: "In principle, this is tactic
    of the Armenian side - always throw the blame on us. They invaded our
    territory, violated international law, committed genocide in Khojaly,
    destroyed our historical and religious monuments, and shift the blame
    on us. But the question is that what the Armenian soldier are doing in
    the occupied territories? What Armenian soldier is doing in Agdam? If
    he does not want to be killed, he shall not go to Agdam. Let him
    stay in his Yerevan, Gyumri, in their own country. You have enough
    space in own country, there is, in fact, not too many people left,
    so what are you doing in Agdam, what are you doing in Fizuli?"

    "The year 2014 was generally remarkable in terms of the activity of
    intermediaries in the negotiations. President Putin organized a meeting
    between President Sargsyan and me in August. Already in September,
    Secretary of State [John] Kerry organized a round of negotiations
    with the Armenian president and me. Finally, at the end of October,
    President Hollande invited us to Paris, where we had, I would say, an
    excellent, very constructive meeting. Both parties then stated that
    they considered this meeting a great success and will try to reduce
    tension on the frontline. What happened then? After less than ten
    days, Armenia began military exercises on the occupied territories,
    particularly in Agdam, with the participation, according to the
    Armenian media, of 47 thousand soldiers. They organized manoeuvres
    in occupied territory with the use of military equipment, aircraft
    and helicopters. For three days our army remained patient enough not
    to respond, but then Armenia with the help of its Mi-24 helicopters
    attacked Azerbaijan's position. Our army had to respond and one of
    the helicopters was shot down. For Armenia, it was an occasion to
    accuse Azerbaijan. With this provocation, it showed disrespect to
    the leaders of France, Russia and the United States that have made
    so much effort to reduce tensions. Armenia thinks itcan do anything,
    and no one will punish it. This is the main reason behind Armenia's
    behavior. Now they are blaming us, saying, Do not shoot!.

    So, my message to Armenia is: end the occupation." As soon as you stop
    the occupation, we will have peace, cooperation and reconciliation.

    And the reason why it is not happening is because the Armenian soldier
    is still in Agdam and Fizuli", Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said.
