INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY COULD NOT TOLERATE THE ATTEMPTS OF AZERBAIJAN TO REPLACE THE RULE OF LAW WITH THE RULE OF OIL. EDWARD NALBANDIAN
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 1, ARMENPRESS: Safarov's scandalous affair has
seriously undermined the Nagorno-Karabakh negotiation process and
endangered the fragile regional security and stability. Armenpress
reports that Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs presented a speech
with such declaration at the General Debate of the 67th Session of
the UN General Assembly.
"Year after year Armenia has been raising its concerns from this podium
over the militaristic rhetoric, blatant violation of international
commitments and anti-Armenian hysteria being instilled into the
Azerbaijani society from the highest levels of its leadership. Many
international organizations on human rights alerted about flagrant
cases of xenophobia, racism, intolerance and violations of human rights
in Azerbaijan, alerted on the policy of hatred against Armenians"
said Armenian Minister.
What is the Azerbaijani response? Minister Nalbandian believes that it
is not only ignoring the expectations of the international community,
but is constantly making new and new steps going against the values
of civilized world. The latest such case is the Azeri government's
release and glorification of the murderer Safarov, who had slaughtered
with an axe an Armenian officer in his sleep, during a NATO program
in Budapest simply because he was an Armenian.
"The Azerbaijani leadership made him a symbol of national pride and
an example to follow by youth. The world reaction was unanimous and
very clear in condemning what was done by Baku. Azerbaijan expresses
bewilderment on the stance of the international community. And what
did they expect? That the international community would applaud
the glorification of a heinous murderer? Azerbaijani leadership
is continuing to pretend that this act corresponds not only to the
Azerbaijani constitution and legislation, but also to the norms and
principles of international law, the respective European Convention.
The leadership of this country is claiming that what was done is just
very good. It is very sad that the constitution and legislation of
any country could allow the heroization of a murderer and salary
payment for the years passed in prison by brutal criminal" noted
Edward Nalbandian.
Armenian Minister assures, one thing is clear that international
community should not tolerate the attempts of the Azerbaijani
leadership to adjust the international law to their own racist
ideology. Having a rich internal experience in corruption Baku is
attempting to transfer it to interstate relations exploiting it as a
tool to impose its own misperceptions on others. The international
community could not tolerate the attempts of Azerbaijan to replace
the rule of law with the rule of oil.
