Azerbaijan has clear position and action plan on Karabakh conflict resolution
Thu 05 May 2011 13:17 GMT | 16:17 Local Time
'History shows that the Armenian leaders have always sought to invent
a false history of their people', said senior official Novruz
Mammadov.
As of late, the Armenian authorities have made apparent attempts to
build contacts with the opposition which showed that it can strongly
influence public and political situation in the county.
Armenia will hold presidential and parliamentary elections in
2012-2013. That is why President Serzh Sargsyan is trying to mend
relations with the head of the opposition Armenian National Congress,
ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan to resist their common rivals former
President Robert Kocharyan and Dashnaks.
The factor of unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict plays a significant
role in all these processes.
Head of the international relations department at the Azerbaijani
Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov has commented on a current
public and political situation in Armenia.
`I can say that, unfortunately, no any international organization,
strategic research center, analytical, research centers, or media
engage in a detailed study of the socio-political, socio-economic
situation and the state of affairs in Armenia as a South Caucasus
country.
`Some external forces seem to be not interested in analysis of
Armenia. But if this kind of study is conducted, it will become
evident that the authorities and opposition in Armenia are involved in
some dirty and dark games. The essence of Armenian politics is to
create intrigue, hatred and confrontation, nothing else,' Mammadov
noted.
`History shows that the Armenian leaders have always sought to invent
a false history of their people, and eventually they became hostages
to this history. So, whoever comes to leadership in Armenia, he will
be forced to play by the rules of this false story, which holds
Armenian people hostages.
`Therefore, it not surprising that Armenian President spoke of danger
of a possible war from Azerbaijan at a meeting with visiting
Lithuanian President which was to focus on fate of the Metsamor
nuclear power station,' Mammadov added.
`Instead of discussing fate of outdated Metsamor nuclear power plant,
a matter of life and death for the Armenian people and also danger for
the whole region, Armenian leader resorted to provocation which
confirms my observations that he is indifferent to the fate of his
people.
`The Armenian leadership, being hostage of its own false history and
continuing aggression against Azerbaijan, builds its own policies and
views of the people only in this direction.'
`I have no doubts that the Armenian leadership will try to protract
the negotiating process this time, too. Armenia has made use of this
destructive step already numerous times. The OSCE co-chairs,
international organizations and interested parties already know this.
There are clear signs that Yerevan seeks to slow down negotiations.
Azerbaijan has a clear stance and action plan regarding the settlement
of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyegv has made it clear in his speeches and meetings
on numerous occasions that Azerbaijan will regain its lands in any
case,' the senior official continued.
`We want to achieve this through negotiations. But we have every right
to gain back our territories and we will use it as necessary.
But if this happens, it will be serious signal for international
organizations, OSCE Minsk Group which should not use all sorts of
schemes to delay resolution of conflicts. This can not go on forever
and international community should take concrete steps,' Mammadov
said.
