To note, at the event dedicated to the memory of Heydar Aliyev, Ilham Aliyev, parrying the statement of the new Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on the need to unilaterally recognize the independence of Artsakh, in particular: "The Azerbaijani flag will be raised in all occupied territories, including Shushe and Khankendi. The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is not the subject of negotiations, has never been, and will not be. The Azerbaijani people and the state will never allow the creation of a second Armenian state on Azerbaijani soil. If someone thinks differently, I believe that he lives in vain illusions. The territorial integrity of Azerbaijan should be provided in full and without any conditions. This is required by justice and international law. Nagorno-Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan. "
