Parliamentarian: Aliyev`s ideas about peace with Armenia are very far  from reality

ArmInfo.We see that the President of Azerbaijan obviously continues to speak with militaristic rhetoric, from time to time confirming the existence of territorial  claims against Armenia and voicing threats demanding the "return" of  Syunik, Gegharkunik regions and even Yerevan. A similar opinion was  expressed to ArmInfo by the lawmaker of the "My Step" faction, expert  on Azerbaijan Tatevik Hayrapetyan.

"I am convinced that such a course of action and rhetoric of  Azerbaijan cannot lead our peoples towards establishing real peace.  On the contrary, such statements and actions of the Azerbaijani  leadership only increase the degree of the existing situation and  create new hotbeds of tension. Continuing shelling of Armenia's Armed  Forces positions from Nakhijevan are a vivid evidence of this, "she  stressed.  Commenting, in this light, all the latest statements of  the same Aliyev, his expectations from Armenia in terms of signing a  peace treaty, the parliamentarian stressed the impossibility of their  implementation. "We have repeatedly stated that the conflict has not  been resolved due to the lack of a solution to one of its cornerstone  issues - the issue of the status of Artsakh. We declared the need to  resolve it as a result of further negotiations towards a final  settlement of the conflict. This is documented, including by the OSCE  Minsk Group co-chairs," she stressed.

On July 18, following a meeting with European Council President  Charles Michel, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev considered the  territorial conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh over and called on the  Armenian leadership to enter into peace negotiations. "We have put an  end to the confrontation in the region. The conflict is over, now the  time has come to think about peace," he said.

Note that in parallel, Aliyev continues to periodically voice threats  to Armenia and make territorial claims.  Up to the provision of an  extraterritorial "Zangezur corridor" to Azerbaijan through the  territory of the Syunik region of Armenia for communication with the  exclave of Nakhchivan. Here, an analogy with Hitler's 1938 demands  for Poland to grant Germany the Danzig Corridor is obvious.  In this  light, the parliamentarian assesses Aliyev's ideas about a peace  treaty with Armenia as very far from reality. In her opinion, an  agreement that includes the best and most cherished dreams of  Azerbaijan and tramples on the interests of Armenia simply cannot be  concluded. At the same time, the signing of a real peace treaty,  according to Hayrapetyan, could become a reality if Baku agreed to  mutual concessions. But in no way in the version currently proposed  by Aliyev. The parliamentarian is convinced that it is impossible for  Yerevan to even consider such an option for establishing peace.
