BAKU (Sputnik) — The violence in Nagorno-Karabakh, an Azerbaijani breakaway region with a predominantly Armenian population, escalated in April. Baku and Yerevan have accused each other of provoking hostilities that led to multiple deaths on both sides.
"Azerbaijan is facing double standards policy, as in some cases the resolutions are implemented within a few days, whereas in the case of Azerbaijan they have not been implemented for more than 20 years," the president said at the Azerbaijan-Germany business forum in Berlin.
Aliyev also noted that, to his disappointment, the sanctions against Armenia have not been imposed do far.
The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh began in 1988, when the autonomous region sought to secede from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, before the latter proclaimed independence with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The warring sides agreed to a cessation of hostilities in 1994.
