"Yes, that’s the basic principles. On the basic principles we have very clear picture. Liberation of seven districts, then return of Azerbaijani IDPs, then return of Azerbaijani people, refugees to Nagorno-Karabakh", stressed head of state.
The journalist asked: "So he has to give you Nagorno-Karabakh also."
"He has to allow Azerbaijanis to go back there. To go back to Shusha", noted Azerbaijani President.
