Is Aliyev sincere in his “peace” plans?
Aliyev’s recent remarks on Armenia
On January 10, 2024, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev gave a 2.5-hour interview with local TV channels. In his interview, Aliyev not only repeated false remarks and justified the ethnic cleansing of the Armenians of Artsakh but also threatened Armenia.
When it comes to delimitin




For those who believe Aliyev is Sincer for peace I say you can trust scorpion in your pocket but not a Turk.
The terrorist cesspool of artificial republic of Azerbaijan on its own does not have the power now, nor did it have at any other time, to demand anything from Armenia using such belligerent rhetoric. Terrorist Turkey is behind all this just like terrorist Turkey was behind the 2020 invasion of the Armenian Liberated territories. It is inconceivable to believe that Ilham Aliyev the draft-dodging chicken-hawk son of the late KGB agent Heydar Aliyev, defeated and humiliated by Armenian victors three decades ago, can make such demands from Armenia on his own when he himself could only dream of getting some concessions from Armenia a decade or two ego when he took over the leadership of this artificial terrorist state after his KGB father’s death. Turkish and pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani terrorists are well-known for being opportunistic and they will exploit the current situation to their advantage to the fullest and to the detriment of Armenia and right now in particular given the fact that today Armenia is still being run by an incompetent and dysfunctional government whose leaders, completely detached from reality, think they can make peace with devils. What our enemies are illegally demanding today are part of their century-old unfulfilled dreams and they have found an opportunity to make their dreams come true. We must never allow this to happen. As far as trusting or believing in the sincerity of the Turkish and pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani terrorist leaders are concerned, I say you can believe that pigs will grow wings long before you can trust or believe what they say. Realistic or not, our ultimate goals should be holding Turkey responsible for their genocidal crimes and the liberation of occupied Western Armenia as a result and the total destruction of artificial Azerbaijan republic invented on occupied Armenian territories. If there is a will there is a way.
