Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev has once again used a threatening language against Armenia while speaking about the prospects for peace agreement between the two countries. The Azerbaijani leader's remarks came during a ceremony to give out apartments and cars to families of the killed  and disabled servicemen in the recent Karabakh war. 

"I have said several times that we are ready to sign a peace agreement with Armenia. In other words, we are ready to begin this work. However, there is no reaction from Armenia, there is no official reaction. The information we have received through unofficial channels is that Armenia is not ready for this. I think this would be a big mistake and this may be yet another grave mistake,” Aliyev said in his speech, according to local media.  

“The two sides must recognize each other’s territorial integrity, recognize the borders and get down to the work on border delimitation,” said Aliyev, stressing that international organizations hail the idea of delimitation and demarcation of the Soviet-era administrative border between the two countries. The Azerbaijani leader went on, warning: “If Armenia does not want this, it’s up to it. But Armenia should think carefully, because otherwise it will be too late.”
