"It is obvious that Azerbaijani miscarriage of justice doesn't mean
miscarriage of the international law and justice. Otherwise, the world
will obviously plunge into the incessant repetition of similar murders
and will find itself in the clutches of general anarchy. For that
very reason, the international community has unequivocally emphasized
the inadmissibility of that incident. It is very important, but still
it's not enough. Pardoning of the criminal, or to be more precise - his
acquittal, runs contrary to all fundamental principles and goals of the
Council of Europe. And it is stated not by us but by all the leaders
of the Organization without exception," President Serzh Sargsyan said
at the meeting at the Government of Armenia, on September 16.
The president is sure that with that act, Azerbaijan crossed the limits
of the international civilized behavior. Feeling the international
pressure, the leader of that country is employing more frequently
his favorite tool - public lies.
"With regard to his utterances, I must underscore once again that
never an extradited convict received pardon in Armenia.
Yes, by glorifying the criminal, Azerbaijan has put itself in such
a desperate situation, that is compelled to come up with lies daily,
finding "faults" with Armenia and stating them out loud. Sordid lies,
I would say a string of sordid lies, a parade, parade of lies. The
authorities of the neighboring state, which have been subjecting
their own people to a longstanding information blockade, would like
to think that it is possible to fool an entire nation all the time.
Time will show whether it is possible or not. However, the well-know
maxim claims the opposite. Meanwhile we are conducting necessary work
on this direction. I believe those responsible for the legal component
know very well what's to be done. I expect active, unrelenting work
in all international bodies. I expect coordinated and far-reaching
activities. Next: the program of diplomatic work is clear and is
underway. At the same time, I also believe that the Government, in
coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, should develop
a consultative document for official use which will allow all our
agencies along with their own work to conduct in the international
settings activities which will assist also in this process. We have
a lot of things to do on this issue and shall lose no time. Lowdown
acts and lies will not prevail," the president said.
