A deputy foreign minister of Armenia has commented on a recent
statement by Natig Hasanov, the head of Azerbaijani Economic
Development Ministry's intergovernmental economic cooperation
committee, who said the Ministry had estimated what he called the
damages caused by the Armenian occupation.
Below is an excerpt from Shavarsh Kocharyan's interview to the
Armenpress news agency.
How would you comment on Azerbaijan's financial claims to Armenia?
It is impossible to find a qualitative criterion to estimate the
damages Azerbaijan caused to Karabakh, Armenia and itself, by using
force and pursuing Armenophobic policies.
In response to the Nagorno-Karabakh people's right to self
determination, Azerbaijan committed massive slaughters and ethnic
cleansing against the self-determined Nagorno-Karabakh; it unleashed
a large-scale aggression that led to many victims and the devastation
of many cities and towns, the destruction of infrastructures and the
occupation of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, which continues to date.
And today, declaring a night axe-murderer a hero, refusing to
withdraw snipers, elaborate investigation mechanism and strengthen
the ceasefire, and inciting provocations on the Line of Contact,
Azerbaijan bears a responsibility for every killed person, regardless
of ethnic origins.
The fraudulent misrepresentation of figures or the regional history
will not help the Azerbaijani leadership to avoid responsibility
for both the human losses and [the attempts of] of torpedoing the
mediators' efforts towards settling the conflict and establishing
peace and security in the region.
