  • Baku: Armenia tries to distract public attention from occupation

    Armenia tries to distract public attention from occupation of foreign
    land - Baku

    BAKU. April 27


    The Azeri Foreign Ministry has denied Armenia's accusations that it is
    violating the ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.

    "Official Yerevan is purposefully trying to mislead the international
    community. Reality is such that Armenia is an aggressor recognized by
    the entire world community that occupied part of Azerbaijan's lands
    and conducted massive ethnic cleaning with regard to peaceful Azeris,"
    top spokesman for the Azeri Foreign Ministry Elman Abdullayev told
    Interfax.

    Earlier on Friday the Armenian media reported that three Armenian
    servicemen had fallen victim to Azeri fire at frontier posts in the
    Tavush region of Armenia.

    "Yerevan is trying in every way to freeze the process of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement and perpetuate the status quo
    keeping the occupied territories," Abdullayev said.

    "However, the incumbent leaders of Armenia must realize that it is
    impossible to change by force the borders of sovereign states
    recognized by the international community," Abdullayev said.

    He said that the entire world community recognizes the currently
    occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and seven districts around it as the
    sovereign territory of Azerbaijan.

    Abdullayev said that Azerbaijan today is not what it used to be in the
    early 1990s. "Azerbaijan today is a very powerful state that is
    capable of standing for itself and restoring its territorial integrity
    and sovereignty. We will never reconcile ourselves with the
    occupation. Territorial integrity is sacred for us and we will fight
    for it to the end," he said.
