Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has shown a true example of statesmanship by stopping military operations against Armenia after liberating the occupied territories, said US President's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in an interview with Fox News.
According to him, during a meeting held in the Oval Office on August 8, Donald Trump asked the Azerbaijani President, "You won, you have a large army. Why did you stop?"
President Ilham Aliyev replied: "I just wanted to return what was taken from us. I don't need anything more."
"It was an admirable example of leadership," Witkoff added.
