"The President of Azerbaijan has repeatedly stated that we have no problems with the civilian population of Armenia. The Azerbaijan community of Nagorno-Karabakh as well as the Azerbaijani population is ready to live together with the Armenian population.
According to Eurasia Diary, the statement was made by Hikmet Hajiyev, assistant to the President of Azerbaijan and the head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration, at a briefing for the diplomatic corps at ADA University.
Hajiyev said that Azerbaijan has been ready to take steps peacefully: “Unfortunately, the Armenian side has even denied the existence of the Azerbaijani community. We once again call on the Armenian side to take steps towards dialogue between the Armenian and Azerbaijani communities. "
