President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev made a speech today, November 8, on the occasion of “Victory Day” in the occupied Shushi of Artsakh.

Aliyev once again claimed that Armenia does not fulfill the points of the tripartite declaration signed on November 9, 2020, in particular, “it has not completely withdrawn its armed forces from Karabakh, has not provided the “Zangezur Corridor” and regularly engages in military provocations.”

“Of course, we should be ready and we are,” Aliyev said.

Aliyev claimed that Karabakh is Azerbaijan’s land, and Russian peacekeepers are there temporarily.

“We are a fair country, if we have undertaken some obligation, then we fulfill it. We want peace, we don’t want war. Peace, but fair peace. The conditions we put forward are fair, based on international law, and the peace agreement should be signed under those conditions,” Aliyev noted.

Aliyev noted that after the military operations of September 13, 2022, the armed forces of Azerbaijan are located on the main strategic heights of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, and “Armenia should understand well what this means.”

“Today, we can see the cities of Vanadzor, Kapan, Goris, and Jermuk from these strategic heights. Lake Sevan is also in front of our eyes. All this is reality,” Aliyev said.

The President of Azerbaijan also referred to the border exercises held by Iran in the vicinity of Araks in October of this year.

“Our army has shown heroism, professionalism, and dedication. If necessary, we will show this one more time and achieve what we want. Everyone knows this, so let those who conduct military exercises on our border in defense of Armenia also know this. No one can scare us,” Aliyev said.
