From the speech of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the meeting dedicated to the results of the six months of 2022

15 July 2022

Recently, the Armenian leadership has once again started talking about some status lately. However, when the war ended, when Armenia signed the act of capitulation, there was a verbal agreement between us, the leaders of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia, that the issue of status would not be touched upon again. Armenia followed this for some time but this talk has recently become an ordinary subject. Their prime minister and then their foreign minister have talked about the status of Karabakh. I said shortly after the war where the status went and what happened to it. I don’t want to repeat myself. If someone in Armenia has forgotten this, I can repeat it. But I think it is not necessary for now. Therefore, I think that it is very dangerous for Armenia to talk about the status because we can also start talking about the status, we can demand status for Zangezur, the Zangezur that was severed from us in November 1920. We are not talking about it, but we can and see what the result is.
