Yerevan is convinced: The lack of a proper reaction of the  international community to Aliyev`s statements led to new threats of  the use of force, sounding from Baku

ArmInfo. Yerevan is convinced that the lack of a proper reaction of the international  community to the statements of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who expressed his claims to the Armenian territories, led to the sounding of new threats about the use of force now at the level of the Defense Minister of the AR.

"The lack of an adequate reaction of the international community to  the statement of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who expressed  territorial claims to Armenia, inspired the Defense Minister of  Azerbaijan, Zakir Hasanov, to voice new threats about the use of  force," Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan wrote on  his Facebook page.

It should be noted that on the eve of the meeting, Azerbaijani  Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov, during a meeting with the delegation  headed by the special envoy of the European Union on the crisis in  the South Caucasus and Georgia, Toivo Claar, did not exclude a new  war in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In particular, he  stated that since the two armed armies are facing each other on the  front line, it is possible that military operations can resume at any  moment. Hasanov also stated that the negotiation process is still  unsuccessful. The minister noted that instead of investigating the  consequences of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, it would be better if  the international structures, having made every effort to fully  resolve the conflict, tackle the root causes of its emergence.

It should be recalled that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev made a  claim to Yerevan during the speech at the VI Congress of the New  Azerbaijan Party (NAP), calling it the historic Azerbaijani  territory. "We must not forget and do not forget about our historical  lands. This should be the direction of our future activities, as we  are now working in this direction. Our historical lands are the  Yerevan Khanate, Zangezur-Goycha.  And we, Azerbaijanis, should  return to these lands. This is our political and strategic goal, and  we should approach this goal step-by-step, "Aliyev said. He also  stressed that the policy of isolating Armenia from all regional  projects will continue until the "Azerbaijani territories" are  liberated.
