Azerbaijani President Ilhom Aliyev accused France of contributing to the escalation of tensions in the region by providing military aid to Armenia.

In the presidential election held in Azerbaijan, incumbent President Ilhom Aliyev won with 92.1 percent of the vote, according to preliminary estimates. For the first time, residents of Karabakh participated in this election.

The President of Azerbaijan, Ilhom Aliev, noted that Baku may seriously consider withdrawing from the Council of Europe if the delegation's right to vote is not restored within a year.

Azerbaijan demanded the immediate return of 4 villages occupied by Armenia. It was also said that the issue of returning 4 more villages occupied by Armenians will be resolved during the demarcation process.

Azerbaijan called the resolution "On close relations between the European Union and Armenia and the need for a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia" adopted by the European Parliament on March 13, 2024 groundless and biased, a clear example of a double standard.

According to new information, many Arab countries and companies are supporting the occupiers by supplying oil and fuel products to Israel in its offensive against the Gaza Strip. According to the report, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are two other countries that are friendly to Israel and have supplied most of the occupiers' crude oil since the Gaza offensive began.

Another 35 families of 138 people are returning to the city of Fuzuli, Azerbaijan, which was occupied by Armenians from August 23, 1993 to November 9, 2020. Thus, the number of families who returned to this city, where new houses were built, increased by 666. Their children also study in a school built by Uzbekistan.

Recently, Azerbaijan has reacted to the accumulation of military personnel, armored vehicles, artillery installations and other weapons in various directions of the conditional border with Armenia.

Baku reported that the Armenians fired 30 times from different weapons at the positions of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan in the last 24 hours. In response to these actions, Azerbaijan fired at Armenian positions.

On April 7, units of the Armenian Armed Forces shelled the positions of the Azerbaijani army. Azerbaijan took retaliatory measures.
