Armenia to face serious consequences if it violates Washington agreements – Aliyev

Armenia will face serious consequences if it violates the Washington agreements, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview with Al Arabiya.

“It is difficult to say; I can only guess and hope that nothing will interfere with the process. But again, I do not have 100 percent guarantees because I am not well aware of Armenia’s internal policy. We know that next summer they will hold parliamentary elections. We know that they are working on the draft of a new constitution. But if there is strong external interference, then yes, we may think that something could break what has been previously agreed, but that would be very harmful for Armenia itself.

No matter who signed the documents in Washington, they were signed on behalf of Armenia by the Armenian leader. If something happens or changes, and they step back from what has been signed, that would seriously deteriorate relations between Armenia and the United States. Not only the United States, but the international community supported this process, including Europe, Turkey, our friends in Arab countries—so the entire international community,” he said.
