YEREVAN, MAY 18, ARMENPRESS: Chairman of the Political Science
Association of Armenia, Doctor of Political Science Hayk Kotanjian has
reacted to the statement of the head of Political and Public Affairs
sector of Azerbaijani President's Administration Fuad Akhundov, made on
May 11, 2012, on the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs' recent visit to Baku.
In his statement Fuad Akhundov noted that today's Armenia has been
created on the base of the historical lands of Azerbaijan, and blamed
Armenian authorities for annihilation of "the samples of Azerbaijani
historical, cultural and architectural heritage".
The Azerbaijani official has also stressed that the historical facts,
the ancient sources and geographical maps prove that there has never
been an Armenian state in Caucasus.
As the Political Science Association of Armenia told Armenpress, the
statements reads as follows: "The current Azerbaijani administration
continues the former Azerbaijani Government's policy of historical
facts distortion that is obviously based on anti-scientific approaches.
"Taking into account the fact that the regime in Azerbaijan is
tyrannical, Political Science Association of Armenia is convinced that
Akhundov's statement was made with the knowledge of the Azerbaijani
President.
Thus, the Association qualifies this announcement as an evident
attempt of territorial claim against the Republic of Armenia and
a deliberate provocation of the Azerbaijani authorities aimed at
discrediting the OSCE Minsk Group and destabilizing the region. Such
statements undermine the efforts of the international community to
form an atmosphere of trust between the parties to the conflict, create
prerequisites for justifying a new aggression against neighbors, once
again put into question the implementation of Azerbaijani government's
international obligations, and display the non-constructive position
adopted by the Azerbaijani authorities in the negotiation process,"
the statement reads.
