Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Emmanuel Macron of France are determined to continue joint efforts to resolve the Karabakh issue, the Kremlin press service said in a statement following a telephone conversation between the two leaders on Thursday, Trend reports citing TASS.

“In the early hours of the second Karabakh war, the resolute statements by my dear brother Recep Tayyip Erdogan played a great positive role. He said that Turkey stands by Azerbaijan, that Turkey provides and will continue to provide political and moral support to Azerbaijan in its just cause. That meant a lot. Because it prevented many from interfering. It was impossible to predict how some countries would behave,” said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in his interview with CNN Turk TV channel.

“The number one goal for us was the liberation of Karabakh and East Zangazur. This was our historic mission. All our resources were mobilized,” said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev as he was interviewed by CNN Turk TV channel.

“Weapons and servicemen cannot be sent from Armenia to the territories controlled by Russian peacekeeping forces. This contradicts the 10 November trilateral Statement. Unfortunately, it continues to this day. We have repeatedly expressed our position verbally. But since it did not work, we officially declared it,” said President Ilham Aliyev in his interview with CNN Turk TV channel as he commented on some claims regarding the Lachin corridor.

“We have repeatedly stated our position. I have repeatedly stated that we want a peace agreement with Armenia. Let Armenia and Azerbaijan recognize each other's territorial integrity and begin the process of delimitation, i.e. demarcation of borders,” said President Ilham Aliyev in his interview with CNN Turk TV channel.

In his interview with CNN Turk TV channel, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev highlighted the reasons why the second Karabakh war ended in victory.

“We have already completed our historical mission. We do not need a new war,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in his interview with CNN Turk TV channel.

“Our expectations from Russia are that all the provisions of the trilateral Statement will be implemented. Because this trilateral Statement was signed by the leaders of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia, and most of them have already been implemented. But there are some issues that still remain outstanding. This is our expectation. Russia, as a neighbor of Azerbaijan and a close ally of Armenia, certainly plays a special role in this region. This is natural. We hope that Russia continues to spare no effort for the security of the region and take steps to ensure lasting peace. At the same time, our expectation is that Russia will not arm Armenia. We have brought this issue to the attention of Russian officials. We are worried about that,” said President Ilham Aliyev in his interview with CNN Turk TV channel.

In his interview with CNN Turk TV channel, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has also commented on the 3+3 format in the South Caucasus.

“The Armenian society and government are in a very difficult psychological situation. Because their ideological pillars of the past 30 years have been shattered, their mythology has been blown to smithereens. We crushed the “victorious” Armenian army in a matter of 44 days. Their territorial claims have been crushed,” said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in his interview with CNN Turk TV channel.

“Armenians living in Khankandi and surrounding villages today must be integrated into our society, which will create greater opportunities for them,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in his interview with CNN Turk TV channel.

“Of course, people who have longed for their homeland for 30 years want to return to their homeland as soon as possible. But they also know very well that all the houses and all the cities there are destroyed. You will go to the regions now, you will visit them and see that there is no city of Aghdam. More than 30,000 people lived in Aghdam. There is not a single safe building left in the city. In other words, all the buildings were destroyed by Armenian savages during the occupation. The same applies to Fuzuli city, all other cities and villages. People travel hundreds of kilometers and see along the way that everything around them, everything on all sides is destroyed. In other words, there is nowhere to return to,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he was interviewed by CNN Turk TV channel.

“During the second Karabakh war, Armenia began to be defeated on the battlefield from day one. Every single day for 44 days, we were moving forward. There wasn’t a single day when we would take a step back. We did not step back even for maneuvering purposes,” said President Ilham Aliyev as he was interviewed by CNN Turk TV channel.

President Ilham Aliyev has said that Azerbaijan’s victory in last year’s war was “historic” as the country liberated its lands that had been under the Armenian occupation for 30 years.
