Baku / 26.09.18 / Turan: Delusions and adventurous steps by the new leadership of Armenia only paralyze the negotiation process on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. This is how a Deputy Head of the Foreign Relations Department of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration, Hikmet Hajiyev, commented on today's speech by the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan at the session of the UN General Assembly. "Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan seems to have confused the rostrum of the UN General Assembly with the streets of Yerevan. He again tried unsuccessfully to deceive the international community. Attempts to represent democracy by coming to power through coup d'état and establishing a dictatorship are only a mockery," Hikmet Hajiyev said.
He drew attention to the fact that Pashinyan made groundless accusations against Azerbaijan, despite the fact that Armenia occupies the Nagorno-Karabakh region and adjacent seven regions of Azerbaijan.
"The Armenian Prime Minister, continuing the provocative and adventurous steps of his predecessors, by contradictory and delusional statements contributes to the paralysis of the negotiation process."
"Moreover, the Armenian Prime Minister, completely disregarding international law and the UN Charter, calls for the annexation of the occupied territories and keeps silent about the resolutions of the UN Security Council, which constitute the political and legal basis for the settlement of the conflict."
To achieve a breakthrough in the settlement of the conflict, Armenia must withdraw troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, stop impeding the return of internally displaced persons to their places of origin and comply with international obligations, according to the comments.
At the UN General Assembly Pashinyan spoke aggressively about the Karabakh conflict. He accused Azerbaijan of attempting a military solution to the conflict, refusing direct talks with Nagorno-Karabakh, and threatening the genocide of Karabakh Armenians in case if Nagorno Karabakh remains in Azerbaijan.
In dissonance to what he said Pashinyan called for a settlement of the conflict on the basis of a compromise, taking into account the interests of all parties, without explaining what he means. -06D--
