Azerbaijan does not want to see another imitation of negotiations with Armenia, which has been happening for almost 30 years prior to second Karabakh war, Head of the Press Service Department of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Leyla Abdullayeva said in an interview to ‘Musulmans de France’ online journal.

Abdullayeva noted that after the second Karabakh War has ended in November 2020, Azerbaijan has taken control of its territories, which have been under occupation for nearly 30 years. In her words, notwithstanding the level of destruction imposed by Armenia to these lands, Azerbaijan was the side, which extended its hand of friendship to Armenia .

“Because Azerbaijan has always kept saying that the only thing that hampers peace between Azerbaijan and Armenian is the fact of occupation. As the fact of occupation has been eliminated we said that now we are ready to move and normalize the relations with Armenia,” she said.
