Azerbaijan threatens to draw border where it “sees fit”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, in an interview with local TV channels on Tuesday, January 10, made a number of threats against Armenia.

“I sincerely hoped that before the end of the year (2022 – Ed.) we would be able to sign a peace treaty, but this did not happen. What is Armenia waiting for? Probably for some geopolitical changes, maybe something else, maybe someone has promised them something. Because an objective analysis of the situation in the region, the balance of power, the reaction of the world to the events of two years ago, last September, suggests that the salvation of the drowning is rests with the drowning themselves,” Aliyev said.

Weighing in on the timing of signing the peace treaty, Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan's proposal for a peace treaty "will be on the table for some time."

“If they (Armenia – Ed.) do not want delimitation, it means the border will pass where we see fit. I have to resort to such terms,” he said, adding that the year 2023 will be the last chance for Armenia to sign the peace treaty.

Aliyev also said that the mission of the Russian peacekeeping forces deployed in Karabakh after the 2020 war will end In 2025.
