President Ilham Aliyev: The victory of President Trump was a big disappointment and frustration for Armenia

President Ilham Aliyev, speaking at the “Facing the New World Order” forum at ADA University, said Armenia was frustrated by President Trump’s election victory and warned that until Yerevan fully renounces territorial claims, the risk of renewed conflict remains.

“They (Armenia – red.) counted very much on democratic administration to continue after the elections. So, for them, the victory of President Trump was a big disappointment and frustration,”said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev while speaking at the international forum titled “Facing the New World Order” held at ADA University.

“But nevertheless, political establishment of Armenia is not divided on the issue of Azerbaijan. It is consolidated. It's just a matter of vocabulary, behavior and tactics. So, we must be ready for that. So, until peace agreement is signed and Armenia puts down completely all territorial claims to Azerbaijan, which still exists in the Constitution, and demonstrates sincere behavior to normalize relations with Azerbaijan, still, there will always be a threat of new military standoff,” the head of state underlined.
