    ARMENIA ACCUSES AZERBAIJAN OF RACISM, SLAMS AZERI PRESIDENT

    Armenia lashed out against Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev on
    Saturday, accusing him of vicious anti-Armenian propaganda.

    "Instead of reaffirming the loyalty of his country to the processes
    of peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Azeri
    president abused the influential platform of the UN Security Council to
    repeat hackneyed postulates of the anti-Armenian propaganda of Baku,
    except that he forgot to mention the well-known racist thesis of the
    Azeri leadership that 'the world Armenian community is the number one
    enemy of Azerbaijan,'" Armenia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement
    made available to Interfax.

    "At the meeting of the UN Security Council that discussed action
    against terrorism, the president made an unsuccessful attempt to
    shift responsibility for ties with terrorist organizations to others,
    meanwhile being head of a state that, during the Nagorno-Karabakh war,
    used thousands of mercenaries who were closely linked to well-known
    international terrorist networks," the ministry said.

    The ministry accused Azerbaijan of posing a permanent threat to
    regional stability and security and of provocative statements. This
    threatens to undermine the prestige of the UN Security Council,
    the ministry said.

    Earlier, Aliyev told the Security Council that Azerbaijan had been
    a target of foreign-sponsored terrorism.

    "Armenia has perpetrated dozens of terrorist acts against the
    population and infrastructure of Azerbaijan, in which thousands of
    Azeris were killed. In the course of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
    Armenia has used terrorist acts against Azeri civilians with the aim
    of wide-scale ethnic cleansing," he said.
