Aliyev, once again, pointed to his country’s aggressive attack on Artsakh last year while meeting with the residents of Gonagkand village in the Guba region located in northern Azerbaijan.
“Armenia and the whole world saw [during the war] that nobody could stop us … I was demanding that they present us with a date for the liberation of our lands before we stop [hostilities.] I am saying the same thing now: tells us when the Zangezur corridor will be opened and there will be no problems,” he said in his remarks, which were publicized on Tuesday morning.
Armenia’s Foreign Ministry condemned Aliyev’s remarks, characterizing them as a threat to Armenia territorial integrity, pointing out that during a meeting between the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia in Sochi on November 26, the issue of a corridor was never discussed.
President Vladimir Putin of Russia said immediately following the November 26 meeting that a working group engaged in addressing the opening of transit links between Armenia and Azerbaijan would present the decision that were reached at the Sochi meeting.
The deputy prime ministers of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, tasked with detailing the transport link opening process, met in Moscow last week, but failed to reach an agreement.
Armenia’s Deputy Prime Minister Armen Grigoryan said that Azerbaijan was “not displaying the kind of political will that’s necessary for furthering the agreements reached in Sochi.”
Aliyev warned Yerevan on Monday to end its “insincere” position in the talks before it is “too late” to do that.
