"Azerbaijan was very close to enter Khankendi during the war, but we did not do it. Certainly, it was a very difficult decision from military point of view, but it was also a moral issue for us. We did not want to see death of civilian people in Khankendi. It was a humanitarian issue," said Assistant to Azerbaijani President Hikmet Hajiyev at the conference in Shusha, APA reports.
Hikmet Hajiyev has added that Karabakh is already not an issue of the foreign policy of Azerbaijan: "The issue has already been resolved and the OSCE Minsk Group has been put behind. The issue has already been completed for us, now we want establishment of civilian relations."
