Yerevan, 5 September: Azerbaijan should not even dream of securing
the international recognition of Armenia as an aggressor, Foreign
Minister Vardan Oskanyan said at a meeting with a group of Armenian
writers today.
Oskanyan said no international document had so far named Armenia
an aggressor.
"It is true that some international documents use the phrase 'occupied
territories'. However, none of them says that the territories have
been occupied by Armenia," Oskanyan said. He added that only Azerbaijan
and Turkey called Armenia an aggressor.
Oskanyan noted that Armenia had always tried to draw the attention of
the international community to the massacre of Armenians in Sumqayit
and Baku. Oskanyan also said that the Armenian side duly dismissed
Baku's claims concerning the [1992] massacre of Azerbaijanis in Xocali
[a town in Nagornyy Karabakh].
