Azerbaijan is ready to stop hostilities in the Karabakh conflict zone if the Armenian armed forces leave the territory, President Ilham Aliev announces.
On the 30 of September in Baku, at a meeting with wounded people, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliev has announced under what conditions Azerbaijan is ready to stop hostilities. "Armenia must abandon the occupation policy. Instead of that, the Armenian Prime Minister sets conditions for us. He set seven conditions for us. Recently, I have said that we reject those conditions. We have only one condition: the Armenian armed forces must immediately leave our lands, without any conditions and in full composition. Our condition is in force, and if the Armenian government fulfils it, the hostilities will be stopped, blood will stop spilling, and peace will be established in the region. We want peace and want a solution to the conflict," Ilham Aliev said.
In turn, Yerevan has announced the possibility of considering the issue of recognizing the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
