    SHARMAZANOV SAYS ILHAM ALIYEV'S STATEMENT INCONGRUOUS

    "The sultan having gained power on father-to-son basis once again
    baffles everyone with his incongruous and ungrounded statements,"
    Armenian MP, ARP spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov told Panorama.am
    referring to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's statement made at
    a joint press conference with Turkish PM Erdogan in Baku.

    Panorama.am recalls that Erdogan said at the joint press conference
    with Aliyev in Baku that Azerbaijan approved Minsk Group recommendation
    made at their previous meeting, yet official Yerevan hasn't given
    any answer. Ilham Aliyev said he wanted official Yerevan to approve
    MG recommendation, too.

    "If the experts' views do not serve as basis for him, let the view
    of the OSCE MG Co-Chairs do, since they have several times stated
    that there are no updated Madrid principles, these are just working
    recommendations. There is Madrid document and the talks are held
    basing on it," Sharmazanov said.

    According to him, as compared to Azerbaijan, the Armenian side has
    clearly highlighted its further steps and as compared to Azerbaijan's
    sultan, the Armenian President acts in accordance with said-done
    principle.

    E. Sharmazanov said, it's due to Armenia's active efforts that in
    Athens the OSCE MG Co-Chairs made the well-known statement on three
    principles (national self-determination, territorial integrity,
    non-use of force) and Azerbaijan has signed under it. As the Armenian
    MP stated, unfortunately, Azerbaijan's bellicose statements followed
    immediately after this.

    "Thus, Azerbaijan proved once again that its word doesn't cost
    a penny, since it signs the Athens document and then speaks from
    the positions of force. Both Aliyev's and Erdogan's statement as if
    Azerbaijan is acting from constructive positions is at least amazing,"
    ARP spokesman said.

    "It's Azerbaijan that should withdraw is forces from Martakert and
    Shahumyan regions," Sharmazanov said, adding that only after this
    the sides can agree on concessions.

    Specially for them let us recall that Nagorno-Karabakh status is the
    cornerstone of the conflict and it cannot be part of Azerbaijan.

    Moreover, I would advise, would urge Mr. Aliyev to follow the upcoming
    parliamentary elections in Nagorno-Karabakh since they are several
    times more democratic than those in Azerbaijan and let Nagorno-Karabakh
    serve for them as an example for Azerbaijan to become as democratic
    and not to make ridiculous or incongruous statements.
