    Azeri President's statements - consequence of his impunity
    06.02.2010 14:26 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Ilham Aliyev's interview to Euronews was full of
    pompous statements, more fitting to an Asian khan, Heritage
    parliamentary group leader Stepan Safaryan said.

    `Aliyev's threats are the result of impunity Azeri authorities have
    been enjoying since 1990s,' he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    Commenting on Aliyev's statement on disallowing use of democratic
    instruments to achieve the change of power in his country, Stepan
    Safaryan noted that international community should have long ago shut
    the doors to Azerbaijan. `Suppression of democracy inside the country
    is no longer an issue of local context,' he emphasized.

    The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in 1988
    as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the final
    years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 to
    1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, NKR and
    Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan
    around it (the security zone) remain under the control of NKR defense
    army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the
    OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
