ArmInfo. Today, the world is dominated by the principle "who is strong is right". On this, in particular, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on Tuesday in an interview to the head of the TV channel Real Mirshakhin Agayev, Trend reports.
"As you know, the new government of Armenia initially made such contradictory statements that Azerbaijan should not negotiate with Armenia, but with the self-proclaimed" Nagorno-Karabakh Republic ". Of course, we immediately rejected these contradictory and incomprehensible statements. Including the mediators, of course, could not agree with this position. Remaining on a principled position, we are committed to the negotiation process. Today, negotiations are underway between the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Already conducted several rounds of negotiations. We hope that they will be productive. Therefore, the negotiations, of course, can be regarded as a positive fact, "said the head of state.
According to President Ilham Aliyev, this once again shows that the principles stated by the new leadership of Armenia at the initial stage are absolutely unacceptable: "On the other hand, I have always said that today the force factor comes to the fore in the world. Look, international law is grossly violated in various parts of the world. If earlier they tried to hide it in a certain form, then today they don't even see the need for it. Today, the world is dominated by the principle " might makes right". This is a new reality. We must be ready for it. The world is changing, and we must be prepared for this change. Fortunately, we have been building up our economic and military power for many years. We seemed to be preparing ourselves for the current situation and are now ready for it. Therefore, the force factor has always been and will remain on the agenda. We see this in the example of not only our conflict, but also many other conflicts. Therefore, we will use various opportunities, and the restoration of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is our main task. Citizens of Azerbaijan should know that this is the main task of every citizen, the main task of the state. We will continue our policy in this direction, "the President of Azerbaijan said. To note, the other day at the congress of the ruling party, Aliyev announced Baku's intention to "return the "historical lands" - Erivan, Syunik and other territories". Meanwhile, spokeswoman Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Leyla Abdullayeva called on the Armenian authorities not to "increase tensions over the Karabakh settlement" by their statements.
