    AZERBAIJAN: ARMENIA FOREIGN MINISTER'S WORDS "PEAK OF SHAMELESSNESS"

    BAKU. Sept 30

    Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry has branded a statement by Armenian
    Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandian that Azerbaijan poses a threat to
    regional security as "the peak of shamelessness."

    "Armenia continues to violate international law in trying to delude
    public opinion. By his contradictory speech, the Armenian minister
    again demonstrated the helplessness of Armenia," Azeri Foreign Ministry
    spokesman Elman Abdullayev told a briefing on Monday.

    Abdullayev cited UN Security Council resolutions as saying it is the
    ongoing Armenian occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding Azeri
    areas that threatens regional security.

    "The Armenian minister of foreign affairs must not forget that
    resolutions issued by the UN Security Council prove yet again that
    Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven neighboring districts are Azeri
    territory and qualify Armenia as an invader. Nalbandian's statement
    that Azerbaijan poses a threat to regional security is the peak of
    shamelessness. Naturally Azerbaijan has to build up its military
    potential as part of our territory is under foreign occupation,"
    the spokesman said.

    "It must come home to official Yerevan that Azerbaijan is making use
    of all its resources to liberate its lands because it is the duty of
    the state to defend to rights of Azeri citizens. The Armenian minister
    of foreign affairs is so helpless that he tries to distort the text
    of the resolutions of the UN Security Council," Abdullayev said.

    He dismissed Nalbandian's allegation that a statement by Azeri
    President Ilham Aliyev that Yerevan had been an Azeri city in the
    distant past represented a territorial claim. "It doesn't mean a
    territorial claim, it's a historical fact," Abdullayev said. "Just
    go through archives and it will become clear immediately that Yerevan
    was historically an Azeri city," he said.
