Particularly, while speaking to the local residents, Aliyev announced that the war with Armenia was not over, Az.TV state television informs. He added that “Armenia did not won the war; it was just the first stage of the war completed.” Aliyev noted that “Nagorno Karabakh will never be independent; the position is backed by international mediators as well; Armenia has to accept the reality.” According to Aliyev, “in 1918, Yerevan was granted to the Armenians. It was a great mistake. The khanate of Iravan (Yerevan) was the Azeri territory, the Armenians were guests here.” As for the role of international organizations, they, according to the Azerbaijani president, show double standards in the problem of Nagorno Karabakh.
