If the conflict is over, why is there a need for Azerbaijan President Aliyev to wear a military uniform? This is what former US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Richard Kauzlarich tweeted in response to President Aliyev’s statement that “the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is over and Armenia must determine borders with Azerbaijan”.

In a speech addressed to the Azerbaijani army’s top brass and a group of servicemen, Aliyev said the following: “Because there is no territorial unit called Nagorno-Karabakh, there is no concept of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”
