YEREVAN.- Petrodollars turned Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s head  so that he does not notice that independent Nagorno-Karabakh exists for already 20 years, secretary of the Republican parliamentary group Eduard Sharmazanov told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

His remarks came in response to Aliyev’s statements that Baku will never consider the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh’s independence.

“Aliyev seems not to realize that Nagorno-Karabakh is independent for already 20 years and once Baku will have to cope with it. Petrodollars turned Aliyev’s head, he does not realize that the Minsk Group co-chairs included issue on Karabakh’s sovereignty in the agenda of talks long ago and Azerbaijani leader himself is discussing the issue, willingly of unwillingly,” the MP said.

“They that take the sword shall perish with the sword,” the MP said.
