Azerbaijan will continue to strengthen its positions on the border with Armenia - Aliyev
"I think this is the territory of Zangezur, and Zangezur is the land of our ancestors. We are on our own land."
He disagreed with Charles Michel who called the border areas "disputable."
Aliyev: "Europe did not support us when we initiated the construction of Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway. America not only did not support, but opposed. All because of Armenia. The Armenian lobby mobilized its forces to prevent this. Because of this, Armenia remained on the sidelines."
Aliyev: "Armenia cannot come to terms with the post-war realities. I think the psychological factor plays a role here. Probably, they need time to get used to the new reality from a psychological point of view. Because our victory destroyed all their ideological foundations."
Aliyev: "For 30 years they have been lying, trying to convince the world that they have a victorious army, an invincible army, that the Armenian people are a warriors, and the Armenian army is the strongest army. What happened? We destroyed them in 44 days."
Aliyev: "Armenia should not make the same mistakes as before, because their inappropriate, unacceptable steps and statements cost them dearly. The second Karabakh war showed this. Therefore, 'do not shake the air in vain.'"
