“Unconcealed claims of Azerbaijan towards the territories of Armenia openly prove why the international community should recognize the independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic,” the Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan said in response to the question of Armenpress on the recent statement of Aliyev in which he presents territorial claims towards Armenia.
"Azerbaijan should bear international responsibility for the aggression unleashed against the self-determined Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and its consequences," he added.
