• “Artsakh cannot be a part of Azerbaijan...if like in 1997 they want to become a friend of Azerbaijan on the price of Nagorno-Karabakh, I do not agree with that.

And about Turkey, we cannot leave the word genocide out of our vocabulary and forget about the 1.5 million victims.”

Strategic reconsideration of the security system will start this year.”
