"Armenia has repeatedly stated her stance, it is clear and distinct," Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan stated commenting on Azeri President Ilham Aliev's statement that "there exists a common agreement on returning 7 Azerbaijani regions, including those of Kelbadjar and Lachin. Serzh Sargsyan underlined he has no notion what objectives Ilham Aliev pursues by making such statements, and if he learns Aliev's purposes he will make corresponding conclusions." "Let him speak what he wants, we have already stated our stance," the RA Prime Minister concluded without commenting on his words, IA Regnum reports.

Today Ilham Aliev stated that, "there exists a common agreement on returning the 7 occupied regions of Azerbaijan by step-by-step approach, after which displaced Azeri population will unconditionally return to their native places." At the same time he says that both Armenia and the international mediators accepted these offers. Aliev stated the status of Nagorno Karabakh "can be discussed only in the framework of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. Alongside Azerbaijan does not oppose the idea of placing peacekeepers on this territory, which actually is Armenia's initiative."
