AZERBAIJANI POLITICAL EXPERT: SERZH SARGSYAN ONCE AGAIN DEMONSTRATED HIS POLITICAL ILLITERACY AND IGNORANCE

"Armenian President's statements about Yerevan's new concessions in
talks with Azerbaijan are pure farce," Azerbaijani political expert
Fikrat Sadigov said commenting on Armenian President's statement on
possible withdrawal from some of Azerbaijan's occupied territories
in exchange for concessions on status of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Worthy of note is that the Armenian President speaks about the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan in the capture of which he was
directly involved. It is obvious to everybody. Therefore, Azerbaijan
does not need any compromises or concessions by Serzh Sargsyan. We
just want to recover our territories," the expert said.
"Some powers understand the occupation of Azerbaijan's lands, but,
nevertheless, try to soften the situation by high-flown rhetoric about
necessity of finding common ground between conflicting parties. But
in this case it seems meaningless to get any concessions from
Azerbaijan since Azerbaijan has already reached the "red line" of
its concessions," the political expert said.
"The statements Sargsyan voiced in an interview with the Syrian media
are nothing new. He had earlier uttered them. Such words are not
surprising any more. Armenia tries to present the possible withdrawal
from several Azerbaijani regions in exchange for self-determination
of Nagorno-Karabakh as a concession to Baku. It arises a question:
how many times the Armenians are going to determine their destinty?
Present-day Armenia is, in fact, the territory once given them by
Azerbaijan and Turkey. Now Armenia wants to deprive us of our lands
once again. Based on Yerevan's logic, Armenians in the U.S., France,
Russia and Georgia can also determine their destiny in a similar way,"
the expert added.
Commenting on Sargsyan statement that Azerbaijan is responsible for
all difficulties in the Armenian-Turkish negotiations, the political
analyst said Armenia President is right to a certain extent.
"But not in the context of Sargsyan's words that Azerbaijan is a
major obstacle to the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations,
but in the context that Ankara closed the border with Armenia is in
response to Armenia's capture of Azerbaijan's territories. Therefore,
Armenia itself is the main obstacle to improving relations between
Ankara and Yerevan. So, Serzh Sargsyan has once again demonstrated
his political illiteracy and ignorance," Sadigov said.
