`Azerbaijani people’s patience not endless’ – President
Baku, March 14, AssA-Irada
The recent ceasefire breaches are useless amidst Azerbaijan’s
strengthening position, President Ilham Aliyev told journalists last
week.
`The ceasefire violations represent a purposeful subversion by
Armenian separatists,’ he said.
President Aliyev said that Azerbaijan is ready for any future
developments. `If they [Armenians] attack, we will respond in a way
that will make them feel sorry for it’.
Aliyev went on to say that Armenia’s illegal policy is not supported
politically and the double standard policy of Armenian Diaspora and
some political organizations impede improvement of the situation.
`However, justice will prevail. We won’t give up an inch of our
territory. Everybody should know this. First of all, Armenia should
know that the Azerbaijani people’s patience is not endless.’
President Aliyev said that Azerbaijan will make every effort to
settle the Upper Garabagh conflict peacefully.
`Otherwise, we will halt peace talks and solve the conflict by other
means. Noone should doubt this’, Aliyev added.*
