Ilham Aliyev’s Statements – Peculiar Way of Self-Affirmation

“We are accustomed to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s aggressive public statements on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. Most likely, it is a peculiar way of self-affirmation and compensation of diffidence,” RA President’s Spokesman Victor Soghomonian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, “Aliyev’s statements made in Nakhichevan on December 21 were tactless, in addition.” “We regret that with inheriting his father’s office the Azeri President failed to inherit his wisdom. Wrangle is not the business of Presidents,” Soghomonian said.

Earlier Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said that “Armenian authorities make ridiculous provocative statement and artificially drag out the negotiation process.” “Nagorno Karabakh will never be rendered independence, their statements are false,” Aliyev said.
