Azerbaijan determined to isolate Armenia from international projects
BAKU May 30
Azerbaijan will continue pursuing a policy of Armenia's isolation from
regional and global projects until the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is
resolved, Fuad Ahundov of the Azeri presidential secretariat told
Interfax in commenting on Azeri President Ilham Aliyev's speech on
Republic Day on May 28.
"One of the key aspects of President Ilham Aliyev's speech is his
warning that Azerbaijan will continue to pursue its policy of
Armenia's isolation from all regional and global projects until it
stops its annexationist policy and until territories of our country
are freed," Ahundov said.
"In the conclusive part of his speech, the president emphasized once
again that, without Azerbaijan's participation and without respect for
its national interests, not a single project in the region, not a
single issue, and not a single initiative can be implemented, whoever
stands behind them," Ahundov said.
"Our head of state deliberately pinpointed the issue this way to show
that society and the leadership are about to lose patience. Another
important message is that any attempts to include Yerevan in regional
projects actively being lobbied by some Western countries and
organizations are doomed to failure unless there is progress in
settling the conflict. This message from the head of state is
addressed primarily to the EU, which believes naively that it could
involve Armenia in multilateral regional projects under the Eastern
Partnership program," Ahundov said.
