There Are Only Two Leaders In World: Recep Tayyip Erdogan And Ilham Aliyev - Samil Ayrim

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) ANTALYA, Türkiye, April 11.​ The world has only two leaders - President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, member of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye and Chairman of the Türkiye-Azerbaijan Parliamentary Friendship Group Samil Ayrim told reporters on the sidelines of the 4th Antalya Diplomacy Forum, Trend reports.

"There are practically no leaders left in the world. There are only two leaders: one is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the other is Azerbaijan's Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev. That's all," he said.

Discussing the issue of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ayrim observed that the group needs to disband.

"The Azerbaijani-Armenian issue is almost over, and a peace agreement is being prepared. There is a sentence in Armenia's Constitution stating that Azerbaijan's Karabakh region and some territories in the east of Türkiye belong to this country, calling for the 'Great Armenia' dream. These must be removed from the supreme document. It is impossible to achieve peace with a country that has territorial claims over another country in its constitution. The OSCE Minsk Group has turned a blind eye to several massacres committed by Armenia for 30 years. The Minsk Group must dissolve itself. These two issues are crucial," he emphasized.

To note, the OSCE Minsk Group was established in 1992 during the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), which has since evolved into the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Its primary objective was to facilitate a diplomatic and negotiated settlement to the ongoing hostilities between Azerbaijan and Armenia regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh region. However, rather than facilitating a resolution to the conflict, this group failed to contribute any constructive outcomes towards the resolution process.
