The damage caused to Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia by Azerbaijan cannot
be measured with any numbers, said Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister
Shavarsh Kocharyan reacting to reports from Baku that put the cost
of the 'Armenian occupation' at hundreds of billions of dollars.
"In response to the implementation by the people of Nagorno-Karabakh
of their right to self-determination Azerbaijan committed massacres
and ethnic cleansings against the Armenian population. It unleashed
a large-scale aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh which led to
victims, destruction of settlements, infrastructure and occupation
of territories," the Armenian official told the state-run news agency
Armenpress.
"And today, by proclaiming an axe-murderer a hero and refusing to
withdraw snipers, create mechanisms for investigating border incidents
and strengthen the ceasefire regime, the Azerbaijani government is
responsible for the loss of life regardless of what ethnicity the
victims are. The machinations of numbers, international laws and
distorted regional history will not help the Azerbaijani government
to avoid responsibility," concluded Kocharyan.
