A deputy speaker of Azerbaijan's parliament, Bahar Muradova, has
accused the Armenian president of derailing the Karabakh peace process.
She described as "destructive" Sargysan's description of the fall of
Shusha to Armenian troops, 1 news.az reported.
The Armenian president said in a congratulatory message on Monday
that the city's fall was "the liberation of the historic capital
of Artsakh" and a "symbol of the victory of Armenians and symbol of
faith and immortality".
These remarks derail the peace process, Bahar Muradova told
journalists.
"Of course, Azerbaijan is against such statements and believes that
they will not serve the peaceful process of resolving the Karabakh
problem. However hard Serzh Sargsyan tries to provoke Azerbaijan by
his statements, we will continue policies aimed at the liberation of
our territories from the enemy," Muradova said.
The Armenian president made the remarks in his congratulatory mesage
on the fall of Shusha on 9 May.
The fall of the Karabakh city of Shusha to Armenian armed forces in
May 1992 was a turning point in the Karabakh war. In the occupation
of the city, 480 civilians died, 600 were wounded, 22,000 lost their
homes and 68 people were captured by Armenian forces. Their fate is
not known. Religious and historic monuments and museums in the city
were badly damaged or destroyed.
