Artsakh must have direct and uncontrolled border with Armenia and our territories that are under occupation must be returned,” Artsakh State Minister Artak Beglaryan wrote on his Twitter account in response to Ilham Aliyev’s statement that if the communication between Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan is under the control of Armenia, then Azerbaijan should control the Lachin corridor.
