“Why did they put concrete barriers on the Aghdam-Askeran road? Why should the food be delivered from another country? After all, Karabakh is Azerbaijan, and everyone knows that. Who says it is not so, no one? Therefore, why should the goods is delivered from another country?” President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev stated in Shushi.
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Artsakh, Ambassador Extraordinary, and Plenipotentiary Karen Mirzoyan said in particular during “Aravot” program “Areresum” (“Confrontation”) “On the eve of Aliyev’s statement, we had a statement by the Armenian Foreign Minister, moreover, during the session of the specially convened council at the request of Armenia (on July 20, at the session of the OSCE Special Permanent Council in Vienna, Ararat Mirzoyan stated: “As the Prime Minister of Armenia recently announced, we are ready to recognize the 86,600 sq km territory of Azerbaijan, which includes Nagorno-Karabakh, but with the understanding that the issue of the rights and security of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh should be discussed under the international mechanism, through the Stepanakert-Baku dialogue “). That is a green light to pave the way for Aliyev’s bolder and more far-reaching statements.”
The other guest of the program, the President of the International Center for Human Development, Tevan Poghosyan, answered the question whether he considers the proposal made by the Artsakh National Assembly to be realistic: “To take immediate measures to endow the peacekeeping mission located in the Republic of Artsakh with an international mandate by applying to the UN Security Council, the General Assembly according to the established procedure,” admitting that its implementation is not realistic, he also said: “Let’s put it this way, is there a possibility to take such steps? I’m sure, yes.” Let’s remind you that Nikol Pashinyan made that proposal at the press conference at the beginning of the year.
“If Russia is not able to fulfill that function, maybe it should turn to the UN Security Council to give the Russian peacekeepers an international mandate or to send a multinational peacekeeping group to Nagorno Karabakh.”

Meanwhile, Ilham Aliyev also stated: “No one will fight for them and against us on the territory of Azerbaijan. They should understand and accept the realities. We were also told in the previous 30 years to accept the realities of the first Karabakh war. But I did not accept. I am now telling them to accept it.” “He is right; it is a perfect proposal that Armenia should find its salvation only in itself,” responded Tevan Poghosyan.
“I completely agree with Aliyev,” added Karen Mirzoyan. “I completely agree.” No one will fight instead of us; we will resist, fight, and win. When we understand that, we will win.”
