Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict: President of Azerbaijan promised to fight – BBC News

The President of Azerbaijan has promised to fight until the army forces leave the disputed territory on the fourth day of heavy fighting in the region. “We have only one condition: the Armenian armed forces must leave our lands unconditionally, completely and immediately,” said President Ilham Aliyev. There have been more than 100 deaths in the worst fighting in the Nagorno-Karabakh region over the years. Officially part of Azerbaijan, it is ruled by ethnic Armenians. The two former Soviet republics waged war on the territory in 1988-1994. Although Armenia is in favor of a self-declared republic, it has never been officially recognized. #BBCOS #BBCOutsideSource Please subscribe HERE .
