Azerbaijani President Aliyev made an aggressive and unacceptable statement inviting the Armenians of Nagorny Karabakh to accept Azerbaijani citizenship or leave. This was reported by the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alain Simonyan. «These words show the international community the management style of the President of Azerbaijan, the consequences of his rule and the situation in a nonfree country», - believes Simonyan.
In turn, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia announced that Aliyev’s statements demonstrate open disrespect to international partners, in the presence and through the mediation of which Azerbaijan recognized the territorial integrity of Armenia. Baku also undertook to establish an international mechanism to address the rights and security guarantees of the people of Nagorny Karabakh. «Moreover, by his statements the President of Azerbaijan openly acknowledges the fact of planned aggression and occupation of sovereign territories of Armenia, as well as the intention to subject the population of Nagorny Karabakh to ethnic cleansing», - said Yerevan.
