“Armenia must abandon its policy of armament; it must come to an end. I have said this repeatedly, and they know that they must pay attention to my words. It is not too late; they should abandon it. They will never have the power to compete with us,” said President Ilham Aliyev in his address to the nation on the occasion of Victory Day.

“We do not want war. We have achieved our goals: we ensured our territorial integrity and state sovereignty. Our territorial integrity is upheld along all borders, and former displaced persons and refugees are returning to their ancestral lands. Now, we are focused on rebuilding. This is our main priority,” the President added.
