Baku`s endless demands on Yerevan: What Aliyev and Blinken discussed  on Azerbaijani version

ArmInfo.US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham  Aliyev.

As reported by APA, approving the results achieved in advancing the  peace agenda between Armenia and Azerbaijan during the telephone  conversation, Antony Blinken emphasized the US determination to  continue supporting the process of normalizing relations between the  two countries and called on the parties to sign a peace treaty as  soon as possible. Noting the importance that the US attaches to  bilateral relations with Azerbaijan, the Secretary of State  emphasized the constructive cooperation between two countries towards  achieving common goals in the field of climate change and energy.  Antony Blinken stated that his country supports renewed and stronger  bilateral relations with Azerbaijan. He also added that the United  States will make every effort for the successful holding of COP29 in  Azerbaijan.

The Azerbaijani version of the text completely lacks a proposal  regarding the need for Azerbaijan to fulfill its international  obligations, including in the field of human rights and a call to  immediately release all unjustly detained persons.  Further, Aliyev's  words are quoted, where the latter again boasts that the peace talks  are taking place under the dictation of Baku.

"Praising the United States' determination to contribute to the peace  agenda, Aliyev 'underscored the importance of Armenia ceasing its  territorial claims against Azerbaijan', which are enshrined in the  constitution, relevant laws, and internal regulations of Armenia, in  order to advance the peace agenda," Azerbaijani media sources quotes  Aliyev as saying.

Thus, Aliyev continues to dictate conditions to Armenia, even  meddling in the internal affairs of Armenia.  Further, in order to  finally cement the Artsakh issue, Aliyev demands the official  cessation of the activities of the non-functional OSCE Minsk Group  and all those associated with it.
