President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan threatened to withdraw from Karabakh conflict settlement talks, blaming Armenia for obstructing his vision of a resolution.

Aliyev made the threat on Thursday during a video conference with his newly-appointed foreign minister Jeyhun Bayramov after firing Azerbaijan’s long-time top diplomat Elmar Mammadyarov, who has been a fixture at the OSCE Minsk Group-led negotiations since 2004.

During his chat with Bayramov, Aliyev once again criticized the American, Russian and French Minsk Group co-chairmen who have been mediating the talks, saying that they should add substance to the negotiations and not just attempt to maintain the ceasefire.

“We are not going to hold negotiations and meaningless video conferences for the sake of parody,” he told Bayramov. “There has to be a meaning.”

On July 7, in a nationally-televised interview, Aliyev called the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen efforts “meaningless” and took offense at their insistence that the Karabakh conflict cannot be settled through force. “Who said?,” Aliyev challenged in the interview.

Less than a week later, Azerbaijani forces began a brazen attack on civilian and military targets in Armenia’s Tavush Province.

Armenia’s Foreign Ministry responded to Aliyev’s latest threat to withdraw from the talks, saying it “neither surprises us or fazes us.”

“If Azerbaijan refuses to negotiate with Armenia on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, it is not clear with whom that country will negotiate. We don’t know whether Azerbaijan intends to resume negotiations with the Nagorno-Karabakh side or not,” Armenia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Anna Naghdalyan said Friday.

Naghdalyan explained that there were three signatories to the Karabakh ceasefire—Armenia, Artsakh and Azerbaijan. She added that In the past Azerbaijan negotiated with Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia, later refusing to sit down with Artsakh’s representatives.

“Recently, Azerbaijan has been trying to resort to the threats of war presented in different patterns. If this recent threat to withdraw from the negotiations is yet another manifestation of those threats, then it neither surprises nor fazes us,” she added.

Naghdalyan stressed that Armenia rejects the language of threats and stands for a peaceful solution of the conflict.

On Thursday, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairman, in an announcement welcomed intentions by the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers to meet in the near future to discuss the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. It is unclear now whether such talks will move forward after Mammadyarov’s firing.

During the same conversation with Bayrmaov, Aliyev blamed a number of diplomats in state betrayal, saying that this was the result of incorrect policies at the foreign ministry. He said that Azerbaijan actively establishes friendly and partnering relations with all countries, but it does not mean that the interests of the state and people should be set aside.

”Some of our diplomats in other countries have become the Ambassadors of those countries where they work. This is the result of wrong cadre policy. Some diplomats have betrayed the state, they have betrayed it and are not hiding it. They are under the control of the special services of those countries,” Aliyev said.

Aliyev accused those diplomats of receiving money and instructions from the special services of the countries they live in.

    The only one that has betrayed their nation is Aliyev, he has raped Azerbaijan and now blames all his ministers for his own failings
    This man is a true dictator in the same mould of Stalin. He oppresses his nation, steals most of the wealth for his clan & cronies then blames the Armenians & his own people for his disastrous style of leadership.. Lets see if he will send his young son to fight when war starts.

    “Peace talks”?

    Aliyev wants Azerbaijan to take over Artsakh and rid it of Armenians just the way Azerbaijan did to Nakhichevan.

    Aliyev has a screw loose—he doesn’t play with a full deck, his neurons are caput.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
