Ilham Aliyev announced the 3 countries that armed Armenia against Azerbaijan – Last Minute World News

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated that France, India and Greece are arming Armenia against Azerbaijan and said, “We cannot sit back and wait. We have clearly conveyed this attitude to the Armenian government and the parties trying to protect Armenia today. If we see a serious threat to ourselves “We will have to take serious measures,” he said.

Aliyev attended the international forum titled “COP29 and Green Vision for Azerbaijan” held at ADA University in Baku, made a speech and answered questions.

Referring to the negotiations to sign a peace agreement with Armenia, Aliyev said, “We are closer than ever to signing a peace agreement. We were never close to this during the occupation period. At that time, we could not even agree on the basic principles. Now we have a common understanding on what the peace agreement should be like.” “We just need to work out the details, but of course both sides need time,” he said.

Regarding the route that will connect the western provinces of Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan via Armenia, Aliyev said, “This issue is stated in the tripartite declaration signed on November 10, 2020 (between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia). Yes, the term Zangezur Corridor is not included there, but Azerbaijan’s name is there.” “It is written that there is a road connection between the western parts of the country and Nakhchivan, and the security of this road will be provided by Russian troops. Armenia has been violating this article for more than 3 years. They have been preventing the establishment of a road connection with Nakhchivan.”

Referring to Armenia’s acquisition of new weapons, Aliyev said, “France, India and Greece are arming Armenia against us. They do this openly and even try to prove something to us. We cannot sit back and wait. We have adopted this attitude against the Armenian government and Armenia today.” “We have clearly communicated to the parties trying to exit that if we see a serious threat to ourselves, we will have to take serious measures,” he said.
