Sharing his views on the regional processes after the 2020 second Karabakh war, the prime minister mentioned that despite Azerbaijan’s significant efforts during the past period, Armenia, evading its commitments, refused to withdraw its armed forces from the territory of Karabakh, continuously violated the negotiation process, and resorted to various military provocations.

Asadov also highlighted that the Azerbaijani Army, demonstrating high professionalism, targeted only military objects, avoiding strikes on civilian infrastructure and the civilian population.
