Aliyev's appetite for Artsakh has not only not been satisfied, but has also grown
Aliyev's appetite for Artsakh has not only not been satisfied, but has even grown, writes Azerbaijani scholar Tatik Hayrapetyan.

"A few days ago, on February 19, Aliyev visited the occupied village of Aygestan in the Askeran region, which they call the village of Baluja in the Khojaly region. In addition to his main speech, Aliyev also had a question-and-answer session with the Azerbaijani residents of that village, where he made several noteworthy statements, which I present without change."
"Of course, as the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, I personally led all the operations, and, I repeat, for me, as president, there has never been anything more important than this issue. And I dedicated my entire presidential term to this: the liberation of our lands, the expulsion of the invaders from our land, the restoration of justice and national dignity. And we achieved this..."
"We avenged the martyrs of both the First Karabakh War and the Patriotic War on the battlefield. They took revenge and restored justice..."
"We carried out the liberation of our lands from occupation in stages. The second Karabakh war and the subsequent anti-terrorist operation led to the complete restoration of our territorial integrity and sovereignty, and the separatists were eradicated. Separatism has been completely eliminated on the territory of Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijani citizens can return to their native lands..."
These statements are once again evidence that the political leadership of Azerbaijan, led by Ilham Aliyev, clearly and systematically prepared for aggression against Artsakh, imitated the negotiation process, bought time and directed it to arming and preparing for war. Naturally, all this was accompanied by the propaganda of Armenophobia, revenge, falsification of history and aggressive rhetoric, but the goal was clear: to achieve the goal of no Armenian living in Artsakh anymore.
Aliyev does not calm down even after that, now he is already targeting the territory of the Republic of Armenia itself, which is presented as “Western Azerbaijan”, in parallel with this he continues to arm himself, conducts numerous military exercises, and continues active propaganda of Armenophobia. In short, Aliyev’s appetite for Artsakh has not only not been satisfied, but has even grown, but in parallel with this, the political leadership in the “real” Armenia of crooked mirrors continues to tell tales about being very close to peace and the “importance” of renouncing all kinds of rights in the Artsakh issue…,” he wrote.
