War with Armenia 'not over', Azeri President says

PanARMENIAN.Net - War with Armenia is 'not over', Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said Thursday.



"Armenia did not win the war. The war is not over. Only its first stage is completed," Ilham Aliyev said at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Multiplex in the Guzanli settlement in the near-border Agdam region.



"Nagorno Karabakh will never become independent. This opinion is also supported by the international mediators. Armenia unwillingly accepts this reality. Earlier we spoke about vacating four of the regions, but now we speak about seven." Aliyev said.



He also voiced his opinion on the claims by international organizations regarding the situation with human rights in Azerbaijan, and called it unjust. "International organizations are applying double standards," Aliyev said, Trend reports.
