The Armenian leadership through parliament is trying to plunge into
an adventure, which could bring tensions in the South Caucasus to
a dangerous level. The formal reason is supposedly a pardon issued
by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for officer Ramil Safarov,
Deputy Chairman of the New Azerbaijan Party Ali Ahmedov told the
party's website on Wednesday.
He said the president's decree to pardon is fully consistent with
both the relevant international agreements and national legislation.
"I think that now the focus of the international community and
international organizations should be a statement of the Armenian
terrorist organization ASALA on the mass extermination of Azerbaijani
and Turkish diplomats," Ahmedov said.
Touching on the issue of submitting the issue of recognition of
Nagorno-Karabakh for discussion in the Armenian parliament, Ahmedov
said that this step would actually be a death sentence to the Minsk
Group.
"I do not think to take care of the Minsk Group. This group has done
nothing for 20 years, but this 'inaction' works in favor of Armenia,"
Ahmedov said.
