Azerbaijan should stop the arms race and prepare its people not for
war but for peace, said Eduard Sharmazanov, a deputy speaker of the
Armenian parliament.
"Azerbaijan should stop its militant rhetoric and arms race and prepare
its public not for war but for peace," Sharmazanov told journalists
on Tuesday in commenting on Azeri President Ilham Aliyev's Monday
statement.
Aliyev said at an expanded Cabinet session on Monday that the day
will come when an Azeri flag will fly in Stepanakert, currently the
capital of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic.
"If Aliyev wishes to see an Azeri flag in Stepanakert, he should
establish diplomatic relations with the independent Nagorno-Karabakh,
and then a Karabakh flag will fly above the Karabakh embassy and an
Azeri flag will fly above Baku's embassy in Stepanakert," Sharmazanov
said.
"I believe Azerbaijan will realize sooner or later that international
recognition of the Nagorno-Karabakh republic does not have an
alternative," he said.
