'I met with leaders of Armenia number of times, including the current leader, his predecessor, and the predecessor of his predecessor. I had to. Those two predecessors were directly involved in war crimes against Azerbaijanis, including the genocide in Khojaly. You can imagine that for me, it was not pleasant to shake their hands, but for the sake of peace and the liberation of territories,' said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he addressed the second Shusha Global Media Forum themed 'Unmasking False Narratives: Confronting Disinformation.' 'As a President, I had to set aside all my feelings and all my emotions. When you are in these shoes, you should put your emotions out of your office. Did those meetings help us restore the territorial integrity? I think yes, it helped us,' the head of state emphasized. Source: Azerbaijan State News Agency
