It is also impossible to place all the blame on the previous Armenian leadership, although all of those former Armenian leaders are war criminals and must be punished.

Operativ Media reports that President Ilham Aliyev made these remarks during his speech at the 8th Congress of the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP).

"The current Armenian leadership made territorial claims against us, tried to insult the Azerbaijani people, and offended the dignity of the Azerbaijani people with inappropriate and uncivilized statements," the head of state said, adding that this must never be forgotten.
