“We do not go there with the war, the Armenians ask, but so that Russian soldiers do not die, we call the dear leader of Azerbaijan and say one-on-one: Ilham, your father, Heydar Aliyev, was a great and wise man. Wonderful, I knew him. Therefore, Ilham, you will have the territory you want, but no one has a right to look at Russian soldier askance! You understand me? And he understands perfectly well that he will lose his post, there is a dictatorship there, there are full of opposition forces there. If Biden wants to, he will be overthrown there within two weeks. And only we can save him, as we saved Pashinyan. ”
