Azerbaijani MP: We will not allow a second Armenian state to be established in our lands

Modern Armenia has been established in our territories, and we will not allow second such a state to appear in our lands once again, Azerbaijani Member of Parliament Aynur Jamalgizi said commenting on Armenia’s delayed response to the updated Madrid principles.

"This document contains a provision on referendum in Karabakh, which could not but cause concern. But after Baku announced that referendum is possible only throughout the country, everything fell into place,” the MP said.

“If this provision of the Azerbaijani Constitution is observed, the updated version of the Madrid principles generally meets Azerbaijan’s interests.”

I think we can agree on de-occupation of five regions of Azerbaijan in the first stage, followed by the return of refugees there and the restoration of communications. In this case, I believe that if we agree to provide Armenia with an access to Lachin corridor, then in return we should get a ground connection with Nakhchivan. Later the status of Nagorno-Karabakh should be resolved,” the MP added.

"The most negative development in the Madrid process is the fact that the principles of territorial integrity and the right of peoples to self-determination are taken as equal. Maybe a nation, who has been deprived of this right, has the right to self-determination, but not Armenians. Armenians had once determined their destiny and created their own state on the territories of Azerbaijan. We will not allow a second Armenian state to be created on our lands. This is impossible," Jamalgizi noted.
