    AZERI LEADER URGES "INFORMATION OFFENSIVE" AGAINST ARMENIAN LOBBY

    ANS TV, Baku
    14 Aug 06

    [Presenter] We will not allow creating a second Armenian state in
    Azerbaijan; the conflict should only be resolved within the framework
    of international law and stage by stage, President Ilham Aliyev
    said during today's meeting with the diplomatic corps representing
    Azerbaijan abroad. He said that Azerbaijan would never concede its
    national interests and would not allow any power to turn Azerbaijan
    into an arena for rivalry.

    The head of state also said that some ambassadors were not actively
    involved in informing the international public about the Nagornyy
    Karabakh conflict.

    [Ilham Aliyev] In some countries this advice is being heeded,
    but in some - I do not want to name them - they remain passive. I
    demand that all embassies be active and realize this practice in
    their daily activities. I have said it on many occasions and I want
    to reiterate that we must start an information offensive. We must
    unmask Armenia's expansionist policy, especially since this is the
    real state of affairs.

    Armenia has occupied Azerbaijan's land. As a result of Armenia's
    policy of aggression and ethnic cleansing, more than one million
    of our compatriots have been displaced from their lands. However,
    the propaganda by the Armenian lobby portrays a completely different
    picture in some countries.

    Although Armenia as a state has very limited resources for diplomacy,
    even though the country lags far behind Azerbaijan in terms of its
    economic potential and cannot afford opening embassies in various
    countries, the Armenian lobby acts as its embassy. They act in concert
    and they have one target, that is Azerbaijan.
