Armenia’s position on the Nagorno- Karabakh settlement is forcing
Azerbaijan to alter its settlement policy, Azeri President Ilham
Aliyev said.

“Armenia disrupted the February meetings in France, showing a lack
of constructivism. Their desire to drag out the negotiating process
is obvious. However, the peace process’ potential has not yet been
completely exhausted,” he said.

“We continue to adhere to the peace process, but are ready for any
outcome,” Aliyev said.
