"Sometimes you have to make difficult decisions. Even as a President with 17 years in office, when we liberated Karabakh, I could have waited 17 more years if necessary. It was not necessarily for me to be the president during whose terms the lands were liberated," said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he addressed the second Shusha Global Media Forum themed 'Unmasking False Narratives: Confronting Disinformation.' "It could have been 50 years from now. You should not be selfish. It's not about me or someone else. It's about the people, the country, and dignity," the head of state noted.
