"Two years ago, Azerbaijan ended the occupation of twenty percent of our lands by Armenia, which lasted almost thirty years.

Despite the resolutions and decisions of leading international organizations, Armenia ignored all decisions and resolutions and continued to illegally occupy almost 20 percent of the territory of Azerbaijan.

During the occupation, more than one million Azerbaijanis became refugees and internally displaced persons.

Our people were subjected to ethnic cleansing.

In 1992, Armenia committed the Khojaly genocide, which is now recognized by more than a dozen countries.

The UN Security Council adopted four resolutions demanding the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian troops from our territories, but these resolutions were never implemented."

APA reports that the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at the 31st Summit meeting of the League of Slave States

"This brings us to another important factor.

This is also related to the implementation mechanism of UN Security Council resolutions.

In some cases, UN Security Council resolutions are implemented within a few days.

But as far as we are concerned, these resolutions remained on paper for thirty years.

This is a double standard, it is unacceptable.

This is a selective approach to the norms and principles of international law and the obligations of countries.

Therefore, as a country that has suffered from injustice and occupation, Azerbaijan is actively working to contribute to the work of unifying approaches to conflicts.

All conflicts should be approached from the same point of view.

There should be no double standard in approaches to conflict.

An occupation should be called an occupation.

Two years ago, Azerbaijan, as noted, put an end to this conflict.

We did it on our own.

We used the right of self-defense provided for in Article 51 of the UN Charter and liberated our territories by force.

We defeated Armenia.

Armenia was forced to capitulate.

Now our lands are free and we have returned to our lands," said the President of Azerbaijan.
