The military parade, which the Armenians intend to hold in Shusha,
will become another laughingstock, Azerbaijani MP Aydin Mirzazade
told Trend today.
"The parade, which Armenia held in Yerevan last September, was
frivolous and ill-prepared show," he said. "In such a situation, one
can not call the event, planned to be held in the Azerbaijani occupied
lands with disorganized, poorly equipped Armenian Army, as a parade."
Armenia wants to show its citizens that the claims to Nagorno-Karabakh
are still on the agenda and that Karabakh is under Armenian occupation,
Mirzazade added.
"But the Armenian people are interested in the solution to everyday
social issues, security and integration into the global community,
rather than the claims of field commanders - natives of Karabakh,"
he said.
The MP said Armenia has little time to continue ignoring the
international community's opinion with impunity.
"First of all, Armenia harms itself by its policy," he said. "Today
Armenian statehood itself acquired as a result of some historical
chance faces a big threat."
Mirzazade stressed that Yerevan demonstrates the impossibility of
peaceful coexistence on the rules of the international community.
Armenian media disseminated the information about the intention to
hold a military parade involving Armenian ground forces and air forces
in the Azerbaijani occupied town of Shusha on May 9.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
