In an interview with the German ARD TV channel, Ilham Aliyev said that the war will end when Armenia stops fighting and accepts defeat.
Answering the journalist's question about what international force can stop the war in Karabakh, Aliyev said: “I think that Armenia should put an end to this. The only way to stop the war is for Armenia to accept its defeat, accept our victory, and then undertake the obligation to liberate a part of the territories. We will liberate them either way. "
“When we launched the counter-offensive operation, they did not believe us. We said we would liberate the territories, thus, stop the hostilities. They did not do so even after we had liberated Fuzuli. They did not stop,” the Azerbaijani leader stressed.
Recall that Armenia resumed hostilities against Azerbaijan on September 27, to ensure the safety of the population, the Azerbaijani army launched a counter-offensive operation. By now, the Fizuli and Jabrayil regions have been almost completely liberated, including the cities of Jabrayil and Fizuli, the city of Zangilan and most of the Zangilan region, part of the Gubadli region, including the city of Gubadli, the village of Gadrut and many villages in the Khojavend region, the villages of Sugovushan and Talish in Terter area, Mount Murovdag. In response, the Armenian Armed Forces are carrying out terrorist attacks against the civilian population of Azerbaijan, shelling the border settlements and cities located far from the contact line.
