If the Armenian side had done it a few years ago, there would be no need for anti-terrorist operations: Aliyev

Armenia is close to accepting the five fundamental principles of a peace treaty. This was stated by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. The information was reported by Azerbaijani media.

“They can use these as a basis. If the Armenian side had done this a few years ago, there would be no need for anti-terrorist operations. This is history, and it shows that it is Azerbaijan and not Armenia that has encouraged peace,” said Aliyev.

He added that Baku needs stable guarantees that there will be no attempts at revenge in Armenia. “Azerbaijan needs stable guarantees that there will be no attempts at revenge in Armenia. Because we know what is happening in Armenia; we also know that Armenia has many 'advisors' in certain European capitals,” said the Azerbaijani president.
