President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev“For our hateful neighbors, it seems that the concept of ‘sacred’ does not exist. This is a crime against humanity, once again demonstrating the predatory nature of Armenia <…> We are fighting for our lands. The war that Armenia is waging is a war of evil forces.”https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3317944.html 
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevToday, the leadership of Armenia should think twice. They have already kneeled before us, we have put them on their knees, and pointed out their place.

President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevArmenia, you are a dead end. We have made you a dead end. Who has isolated you? We have. Energy, transportation, power generation – we have isolated them.

Because we have a strong will, we have unity of the people and the governmenthttps://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevCan there be such a shameless country? Can there be such shameless people? Apparently, yes, and that is Armenia. https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevIf someone has revanchist thoughts, they will see this fist, it is in place, and let them not test our patience. The Armenian army is over, it does not exist and should not exist in such a fascist state. We will not allow any threat to arise again for us, or for our citizens who will return to the liberated lands to feel any risk.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevI said: we did not just restore territorial integrity, we defeated a great evil. I hope that this evil will never raise its head again. In any case, we will not let it raise its head. https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevFrom now on, we will live forever in Karabakh and Zangazur. If any force in Armenia looks at us askance or shows any revanchist tendencies, they will see our fist. It is in its place.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevArmenia and its armed forces start trembling with fear at the mere mention of Azerbaijani special forces. This fear has not left them and will not leave them.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevWe destroyed this mythology to dust, expelled the enemy from our land in just 44 days, Armenia fell to its knees before us, bowed its head, was forced to sign the act of capitulation, beg for mercy, and today is in the same position. It still begs for help, saying that Azerbaijan is threatening us, trying to strangle us herehttps://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevTo the supporters of Armenia, those who stand behind Armenia, they should also know, understand, and appreciate our historical mission – the evil we have destroyed. We can never allow Armenia to become a potential threat to Azerbaijan again. If we see such a thing, we will destroy it right on the spot. Everyone should know this.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
President of Azerbaijan Ilham AliyevArmenia, on the other hand, is a country that suffered a defeat, a country that fell to its knees before us, a country with its head down, and it will always be that way… We just can’t forget the Armenian barbarism. We are a very kind people. This is our advantage, but at the same time, you can’t be kind when faced with barbarians. We must give them such an answer that they will forever keep it in their historical memory, so that it will never be erased from their memory.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3320550.html
Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Lieutenant General Maj. Gen. MehdiWe will liberate our lands from occupation by military means. As a result, the existence of Armenia as a state will also be questionedhttps://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3305419.html
Member of the National Assembly RovshanAfter the Geneva meeting of the presidents, Yerevan, by trying to disrupt the negotiation process with irresponsible statements and military sabotage, proves that it is still at the level of Neanderthal thinkinghttps://modern.az/az/news/146889#gsc.tab=0 
Member of the National Assembly Gudrat Hasanquliyev He declared mobilization, gave a gun to Jane and sent her to Karabakh. I am sure that our soldiers are eagerly waiting for the start of the war and to capture her.https://1news.az/news/20200922031243720-Gudrat-Gasanguliev-Nashi-soldaty-s-neterpeniem-zhdut-kogdavozmut-v-plen-zhenu-Pashinyana 
First Vice-Speaker of the National Assembly Ziyafat AskerovAzerbaijan is not a fictional state. Armenia, on the other hand, is a fabricated state. Azerbaijan gained independence and developed through its own strength. Why should we submit to someone? Azerbaijan is not loved because it pursues an independent policy and does not depend on anyone.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3067452.html 
Member of the National Assembly Elman MamedovFormer French President Nicolas Sarkozy once said that ‘Armenia is our younger sister.’ I also interpreted his words to mean that Armenia is not only France’s younger sister but also its immoral younger sister. Even today, the game of ‘brothers and sisters’ continues. These are the Kardashian groups.https://pravda.az/news/98538
Member of the National Assembly Bakhtiyar Sadygov With an iron fist, you crushed the enemy, broke its spine. You not only defeated Armenia on the battlefield but also dealt it a shameful defeat in diplomacy, in the information war.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3430905.html 
Member of the National Assembly Tair RzaevThe military trophy park in Baku is a symbol of the brave Azerbaijani army, as well as the courage, struggle, and triumph of the heroic Azerbaijani people.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3409332.html
Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Italy Mamed AhmedzadeArmenia, being a small poor country, without access to the sea and natural resources, located in a geographical deadlock, isolated from all regional processes, has no opportunity to contribute to international cooperation.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3309135.html
Director of the Expert Council Elhan AleskerovPersonally, I do not consider Armenia a state and declare this with all responsibility.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3196438.html
People’s Artist of the USSR Farkhad BadalbeyliThis small and disgusting country called Armenia brings so much grief to both its own people and all the neighbors around it.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3321587.html
Journalist Turan Musayev“In Iran, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, was greeted and welcomed, invoking the name of the merciful and compassionate Allah. Maybe it’s time for Pashinyan to become a Muslim? After all, circumcision is an important process for maturation.”https://ru.oxu.az/politics/659735
1news.az: “Apparently, the realization that Armenia is a universally recognized embodiment of some evil that prevents the establishment of peace is gnawing at Armenians. They are unlikely to be able to wash away the stigma of aggressor and occupier, but it is never too late to take steps to earn at least some respect. However, Armenia is digging itself deeper and deeper… Armenians seem to find it easier to live with the status of a savage that cannot be forced into peace. And they continue to successfully justify this honorary title.”

1news.az: “The desire for life, the pursuit of a bright future, prosperity, and well-being – these are all characteristics of the overwhelming majority of the peoples inhabiting the Earth. But, as it turns out, these beautiful aspirations are not inherent in our unfortunate neighbor, Armenia, where the forces of evil, thirsting for blood and seemingly programmed for self-destruction, are once again raising their heads.”1news.az/news/20220120042421518-Armyanskii-revanshizm-podnimaet-golovuTerroristicheskaya-organizatsiya-ASALA-obyavlyaet-o-vozvrashcenii-v-igru
Minval.azAfter the Azerbaijani “Iron Fist” crushed the brainless skulls of the occupiers, suddenly Armenia remembered international law. Moreover, they presented it, as usual, in an Armenian distorted interpretation.”https://minval.az/news/124268585
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Ilham AliyevArmenia is not even a colony, it is not even worthy of being a servant.https://twitter.com/ditord/status/560720092879548416
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Ilham AliyevCountry, one could say, has lost the signs of independence as a whole and resembled more of a colony… They will continue to live as they have been living. It’s just that now this bag has become not a bag anymore, but a small purse, I would say. And that’s all.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3337482.html
Minval.azJudge for yourself. If Armenia, which for many years was the “kept woman” of the Kremlin, suddenly fell under the influence of a Western “lover,” then there is no need to believe in the sincerity of the separatists at all. An Armenian is an Armenian, even in Africa.https://minval.az/news/124281237
1news.azAll that Pashinyan hopes for are sisterly, mind you, not brotherly, relations with Macron. Well, that’s their choice, their business. Armenians often change partners, sisters, brothers… Armenia doesn’t care whose “patronage” it is under. Its life creed is: my body, my choice… Well, two sisters – Macron and Pashinyan – are comfortable being together. As for Macron, there have been unpleasant rumors about his non-traditional orientation back home, so Nikol Pashinyan should be more careful and strengthen his vulnerable rear.https://1news.az/news/20221125055200919-My-s-Tamaroi-khodim-paroi-ili-Blagoslovite-soyuz-FrantsiyaArmeniya
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Ilham AliyevOf course, one is amazed by the Armenian audacity and aggressiveness, their ability to give white shades to black, to call lies truth, despite concrete facts and documentary evidence of their wrongdoing.https://ru.axar.az/news/politika/310056.html
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Ilham AliyevAs savages, they invaded foreign land and exploited it, tried to change its origin, names of populated areas, destroyed our historical monuments, created a false history, and published maps. This completely contradicts the existing traditions, rules, and norms of behavior in the Caucasus region. This once again shows that the Armenian people had nothing in common with our region. They were never a Caucasian people. They are newcomers.https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3342872.html
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Ilham AliyevI saw the Armenians standing at attention in front of Heydar Aliyev, greeting him. A day of Azerbaijani poetry was held there, where Armenian and Azerbaijani poets recited poems in Azerbaijani language. The determination, will, courage, and wisdom of Heydar Aliyev did not allow any Armenian to raise their head.https://musavat.com/ru/news/ilham-aliev-armyane-stoyali-pered-gejdarom-alievym-po-stojkesmirno_705636.html
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Ilham Aliyev“They have once again disgraced themselves. Look, the whole world is laughing at them… So, for 30 years, the Armenians have failed to build a state. This means that this nation cannot build a state. Therefore, this nation can only live within the framework of other large states.”https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3430905.html
Former Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of Azerbaijan, Novruz Mammadov“It is interesting that despite Armenians’ love for living off the resources of other nations, they are periodically resettled on the territory of Azerbaijan. Perhaps in a few decades, Armenia and Syria will accuse others of committing genocide.https://ru.oxu.az/politics/78851 
Former Defense Minister of Azerbaijan and Colonel General Safar AbiyevArmenian shamelessness has no equal in the world. Treachery is their character, it runs in their blood, and stems from their dishonor. Even if they wanted to, they couldn’t change. Moreover, Armenians are one of the few nations in the world that have neither a true national history nor a homeland, land, state to be proud of, nor a cultural and spiritual past. They always look to others to throw them a bone.”https://haqqin.az/analytics/193854
Member of the Azerbaijani Parliament and singer Zeynab Khanlarova“Let’s fight, let’s kill Armenians.https://news.day.az/azerinews/872355.html
Member of the Azerbaijani Parliament Aydin GuseynovIn a country where there are Armenians, there is terrorism, there are conflicts, there are disorders. At the same time, there are claims to the territories of the country where they live, after some time.https://www.bizimyol.info/az/news/139470.html
Member of the Azerbaijani National Assembly, Javanshir Feyziyev“Raised on the unattainable dream of a ‘Great Armenia,’ Armenians have skillfully carried out a destructive mission throughout history as a cheap tool of imperial politics in the Caucasus, and by inciting separatism in Azerbaijan and other neighboring countries today, they remain true to their dirty traditions. This is the face of Armenians, their history, their ideology!” <…> Armenians, who have managed to preserve their repugnant “qualities” throughout history, do not realize that their Armenian character is at the root of their current helpless situation. Thus, Armenians stand as the biggest obstacle to ensuring stability not only in the Caucasus region, but also in the whole world, dealing heavy blows to the policy of international humanism.”https://minval.az/news/76949
Milli Majlis deputy Malahat HasanovaArmenians are cowardly, rebellious, and deceitful. But they move with the support of their sponsors.https://versus.az/article/az/21454

Anar Iskandarov, a deputy of the Milli Majlis:“All crimes in the world are associated with the name of this people.https://ru.oxu.az/culture/469290
Member of the Milli Mejlis (National Assembly) Elgun Allahverdiyev:Armenians have historically shown strong suicidal tendencies, and today’s events show that this nation is incapable of leading a peaceful and prosperous life. They cannot live a normal life. They are, figuratively speaking, a handful.https://ru.oxu.az/politics/629680
Member of the Milli Mejlis (National Assembly) Rasim MusabekovNo matter how much Armenians boast about their antiquity and achievements, in essence, they are a small nation. Contrary to the myths about ‘Great Armenia,’ historically they have always acted as vassals of one or another dominant state in the region, and it is precisely in this capacity that they were able to survive. The flip side of their readiness to serve the strong was treachery.https://minval.az/news/123468981
Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Moldova Gudsi OsmanovThe whole world sees from what a treacherous, savage enemy Azerbaijan is liberating its native lands.”https://ru.oxu.az/politics/433517
Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Italy Mamed Ahmedzade“The countries and peoples of our region are well aware of the ‘abilities’ of the Armenian side to falsify historical events and appropriate the history, culture, music, cuisine, and traditions of the region in which we find ourselves. These Armenian ‘talents’ have become the subject of ridicule and the topic of various anecdotes and stories on this subject. Armenians position their country as the ‘first Christian state,’ appropriating the history of the Church of Caucasian Albania, distorting the events of the First World War, and finally, masking their policy of occupation and aggression against Azerbaijan as ‘self-determination of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.'”https://www.trend.az/azerbaijan/politics/3309135.html
