Hikmet Hajiyev says eight Azerbaijani villages still under Armenia’s occupation

Eight Azerbaijani villages continue to remain under the occupation of Armenia, said Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan.

“We see positive developments in the peace agreement. The Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Armenia and its preamble and the position of the Republic of Armenia in the International Court of Justice continue to have claims to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. These are questions that need an answer.

Moreover, eight Azerbaijani villages continue to remain under the occupation of Armenia. But we have to move forward step by step. Again, the peace agreement must be a bilateral process within the framework of regional security,” Hajiyev said.
