Aliyev discloses content of uncoordinated articles of peace treaty with Armenia and voices further demands to Yerevan

ArmInfo. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has stated that in order to conclude a peace treaty with Armenia, it is necessary to reach an agreement on two more controversial points out of 17 - the article on refraining from mutual lawsuits and the article on the non- deployment of outside forces on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

In an interview with VGTRK and RIA Novosti, Aliyev explained the provision about the non-deployment of outside forces pertains to Armenia. " NATO infrastructure was deployed on the border under the guise of so-called European observers. According to the agreement between Armenia and the European Union, an EU mission has been stationed on the border for regular patrols and to report on the situation, aiming to promote stability in the border areas," said Aliyev. However, he seemed to forget the fact that Turkey, an active NATO member, trains Azerbaijani military personnel and has a presence in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani dictator then voiced the figure of 150 billion dollars, which he claimed was the amount of the alleged "damage" inflicted on Azerbaijan by Armenia.

The permanent Azerbaijani leader then informed that Azerbaijan has two more demands for concluding a peace treaty: amending the Armenian Constitution and dissolving the OSCE Minsk Group.  From Aliyev's interview with Russian media, Armenian society also learned that about 300,000 Azerbaijanis have officially appealed to the Armenian leadership with requesting conditions for their "return and reintegration," but no response has  been received from the Armenian side. The President of Azerbaijan also touched upon the issue of  placing Turkish bases on the territory of the country, and stated  that Baku does not need a Turkish military base "In short - it is not necessary. If I expand my response a little, taking into account that from time to time such information appears in certain media, then I must say that there is no need for this. This is an obligation of both Azerbaijan and Turkey to come to the aid if one or the other country faces an external threat, external aggression. Therefore, this provision of the Shusha Declaration essentially makes the creation of permanent military infrastructures in one or the other territory absolutely unnecessary," he said.
