Hikmat Hajiyev: Azerbaijani Army has broken through lines of illegal armed formations in Karabakh

Azerbaijani Army has broken through lines of illegal Armenian armed formations in the Karabakh region in several places and is determined to fulfil its strategic goals, Hikmat Hajiyev, Assistant to President of Azerbaijan - Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration, told Reuters on Tuesday.

Hajiyev, said Baku would only be ready to talk to the Karabakh Armenians once they are disarmed. He said Azerbaijan has no military objectives in neighbouring Armenia.

"The intention of Azerbaijan is to close a chapter of animosity and confrontation," he said. "Enough is enough. We cannot tolerate any longer having such armed forces on our territory and also a structure which, on a daily basis, challenges the security and sovereignty of Azerbaijan."

He said Baku believed its anti-terrorism activities would achieve its strategic goal of ensuring full sovereignty over its territory.
