    "ARMENIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ACCUSER AND NOT THEM," S. SAFARYAN SAYS ABOUT THE SPEECHES OF MAMEDYAROV AND DAVUTOGLU

    As www.aravot.am has already informed, yesterday Elmar Mamedyarov,
    the Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Ahmet Davutoglu,
    the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, made speeches at the annual
    plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly. Both of them talked about
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, which should be achieved
    only in accordance with Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. Also, the
    Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs called Armenia an "occupant"
    as if Yerevan disrupted the meeting of the two sides proposed by the
    European organizations.

    We asked Stepan Safaryan, the secretary general of the Heritage Party,
    to comment on the two above-mentioned speeches. He said during a
    conversation with us, "Certainly, such speeches were expectable. There
    is nothing novel in the Turks' and Azerbaijanis' statements and they
    obviously had to use the UN platform to accuse Armenia of aggression
    and occupation once again. In this regard, I just think that they
    wouldn't have had such a big mouth, if we, Yerevan, had made absolutely
    different kind of accusations regarding Safarov's extradition. The
    countries, which are not only behind the deed committed by Ramil
    Safarov, but also behind his extradition, shouldn't have had the right
    to speak like that from the UN platform. Armenia should have been
    the accuser, not them, since what Turkey and Azerbaijan have done
    to increase tensions in the region has specific purposes and one of
    those steps was to jointly see through Safarov's extradition. And if
    concrete accusations had been made in this regard, the speeches of
    Turkey's and Azerbaijan's ministers would have been considered in a
    different light and they wouldn't have had such a big mouth."

    As for calling Armenia an "occupant" and accusing it of deadlocking
    the negotiations, Mr. Safaryan said, "It is a lie and one should prove
    that the one who has always deadlocked the negotiations is Azerbaijan.

    By the way, Ramil Safarov's extradition aimed at striking a blow to
    those negotiations realizing quite well what the reaction of Yerevan
    would be like, that Yerevan would reject negotiations and one would
    manage to squeeze Turkey into the negotiation format. One should have
    talked about all this and showed this connection."
