Aliyev says no need for mediators in Armenia-Azerbaijan process

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev believes that Baku and Yerevan do not mediators in the process of normalizing relations between the two countries.

“The delimitation of borders has begun, even work on demarcation is underway. Our two countries have managed to achieve this without any intermediaries,” Aliyev said, according to TASS.

“This once again shows that we do not need intermediaries, especially those who pursue their goals, they don’t want to help, but want to interfere in our region in order to achieve their political and economic interests. They just want to add fuel to the fire again,” Aliyev said, speaking at the opening of the VI World Forum on Intercultural Dialogue in Baku.

The President of Azerbaijan stressed that his country “will not allow” the outbreak of another conflict in the South Caucasus.

“After thirty years of confrontation, Azerbaijan and Armenia clearly understand that they want peace in the South Caucasus. And such peace can only be achieved by normalizing relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia,” he noted.
