That is, the incident on Lachin road is clear as day.

This is our legitimate right.

Our natural resources are exploited, our natural resources are transported.

Those who exploit our natural resources are criminals according to any international legal norm.

APA reports that President Ilham Aliyev expressed these views during a meeting with a group of intellectuals from West Azerbaijan, while commenting on the events in Lachin region.

"Because this is our territory recognized by the international community and we have a rightful demand that our public representatives and, first of all, representatives of state institutions should conduct monitoring.

They should see what is going on there and that illegal activity should be stopped.

This is our rightful demand," said the head of state.

However, President Ilham Aliyev stated that the situation on Lachin road was presented in a distorted manner today and said: "Another lie, another slander, another slander, we all know who is doing this."

I say again, the state of Armenia is not in the first ranks here.

But this will not deter us from anything.

We have already proven this many times, and the Second Karabakh war showed it, and the two years after the war showed it.

No one can influence us.

There may be calls, there may be some statements, you don't need to pay attention to them.

We answer these calls simply out of political courtesy.

But this will not change our position in the slightest.
