Armenia's leaders have no grasp on reality, a senior official at the
Azerbaijani Presidential Administration has said.
Novruz Mammadov, head of the foreign relations department at the
Presidential Administration, said there was no point in expecting
logical thought from the Armenian leadership.
He was commenting on remarks by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
to the 13th congress of his Republican Party that "Karabakh was,
is and always will be Armenian land."
Novruz Mammadov said: "Those who came to power through blood and
murder, the leaders of Armenia who have turned their people into the
victims of their own adventurist policies, think they will achieve
their visionary goals. But they are profoundly mistaken, their time
has run out and the hour is nearing when they will regret their words."
The leaders of Armenia, instead of learning the lessons of history,
continue the adventurist policies of their predecessors, Mammadov
continued.
"They never worried about the fate of the Armenian people. All of
this comes from the fact that the authorities in Armenia are drunk
on their ghostly adventures and unconstructive position. They put
themselves in a difficult position. In fact, the Armenian leadership
has brought their country to a political and diplomatic impasse from
which it cannot find a way out. I really pity the Armenian people,
who are not lucky with their leaders.
"Everyone knows that the world's geopolitical situation changes. The
situation will continue to change. Sargsyan should think today about
what place Armenia will take in this geopolitical panorama. The day
will come, according to [Armenian opposition leader Ter-Petrosyan],
when Armenia will be in a difficult geopolitical situation and will
have to ask the indulgence of their powerful neighbours.
"And no matter who does it, Sargsyan, Nalbandian or someone else,
that day is near and the Armenian authorities should seriously think
about their situation, not hope for patrons. If the Armenian people
take this into account and make the right choice, their situation
will become much better," Mammadov said.
As for Sargsyan's statement that "Armenia has significantly
strengthened its defensive capabilities and is ready to deter hostile
encroachments of the Azerbaijani side", Mammadov called this "raving".
"All these statements by Sargsyan show that his regime is in its
death throes and is hardly able to hold its shaky government. Serzh
Sargsyan is well aware of the fact that the Armenian army is degrading
and thrives on bullying, bribery and lack of discipline. How can the
Armenian army grow when Armenia itself barely survives? Judge for
yourself: its budget is only $2-3bn. Does the leadership of Armenia
think it can strengthen the army by holding marathon fund raisers?
Therefore, all these statements are nothing but raving," Mammadov said.
