The presence of French Co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group
Bernard Fassier at the military parade in Baku is an outrageous
fact and diplomatic ignorance, Armenian political expert Levon
Melik-Shahnazaryan said at a press-conference at Urbat club, Tuesday.
According to him, the military parade at the main square of Baku was
an unsuccessful attempt to demonstrate strength and pressure on both
mediators and the countries interested in maintenance of peace in
the region.
"Azerbaijan didn't even conceal this despite the fact that the
demonstrated strength was only seeming", the expert stressed. He
expressed confidence that the foreign ministries of Armenia
and Karabakh should have publicly responded to this and demanded
explanations from Fassier personally what he wanted to see or learn
at the parade and how his presence contributed to the success of
his intermediary activity. "Unfortunately, this wasn't done for
inexplicable reasons". To recall, the military parade timed to the
90th anniversary of the Azeri Armed Forces took place in Baku on
June 26. During the parade, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev again made
militarist statements with respect to Armenia.
