[Presenter] While Armenia is going to mark the 90th anniversary of
the so-called Armenian genocide, they are planning to take dangerous
steps against Turks and Azerbaijanis. Therefore, Azerbaijani diplomatic
missions abroad have been given special instructions over this matter.
[Correspondent over archive pictures] Armenia is making preparations
to mark the 90th anniversary of the so-called Armenian genocide
worldwide on 24 April. Armenia, which is planning to mark this date
in an unusual manner, is said to have planned large-scale attacks on
the Azerbaijani armed forces on the contact line. Armenians admit that
brief shootings on the front line will be permanent until 24 April.
Maj Ilqar Verdiyev of the [Azerbaijani] Defence Ministry's press
service said that the Azerbaijani army was not worried by these
reports. If the Armenian army launches attacks or provokes us on the
front line on 24 April, they will be undoubtedly rebuffed.
As for the allegations of the Armenian side that the Azerbaijani
army has weak positions in Agdam, Fizuli, Qazax and Beylaqan, a
source at the Defence Ministry said that this was a trick of the
Armenian occupiers.
Apart from the contact line, Armenians are plotting bloody terrorist
acts worldwide on 24 April, which is typical of them. Representatives
of the separatist regime, funded by the Armenian diaspora, are not
hiding their intentions. So, 24 April will again see victims.
Azerbaijani diplomatic missions abroad have already received special
instructions in this regard and are taking serious security measures.
[Foreign Ministry spokesman Matin Mirza] Our embassies abroad have
appealed to the foreign ministries of the appropriate countries to
step up the security of the embassy buildings.
