Referring to the Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan Sunday called on Armenia "to accept the reality” that emerged as a result of the 44-day conflict between the two countries and refrain from chosing "aggressive steps and revanchist policies.”

Baku was the victor of the Karabakh conflict with Armenia but tensions remain high between the two neighbors.

"To label the return of Azerbaijani IDPs (internally displaced persons) to their homes as a ‘violation’ of the Trilateral Statement and ‘illegal settlement’ is yet another clear manifestation of hypocrisy by Armenia,” Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Aykhan Hajizada said in a statement, in response to a statement by the Armenian Foreign Ministry the previous day. Hajizada said that Armenia has acted in violation of international law and four U.N. Security Council resolutions by occupying Azerbaijani lands for nearly 30 years, and also 'forcibly expelled about 1 million Azerbaijanis from their homelands, and brutally destroyed all Azerbaijani historical and religious monuments in the region.'This statement demonstrates Armenia's feature of racial discrimination and hatred,” he added.
