Earlier, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that there is only one option left for Karabakh Armenians – to obey the laws of Azerbaijan and be loyal and normal citizens of Azerbaijan.

“I am telling Armenians living in Karabakh region again from here, from the land of Lachin which they had been exploiting for many years and were engaged in illegal settlement, that their book is closed. The book “Miatsum” is closed, the book of separatism is closed. The dream of independence follows the path of status. As for the status, we sent it to where it belongs during the second Karabakh war,” Aliyev said as he met with Lachin natives on May 28.

“Therefore, there is only one option left – to obey the laws of Azerbaijan, be a loyal and normal citizen of Azerbaijan, throw the false state attributes in the trash, and dissolve the “parliament,” the head of state added.
