FOREIGN MINISTER: ARMENIAN PRESIDENT ONCE AGAIN TRIED TO MISLEAD HIS PEOPLE AND THE WORLD

Azerbaijan, Baku, 10 April / Trend E.Tariverdiyeva /
In his inauguration speech, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
once again tried to mislead his people and the world, Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev said, commenting on the
statement by the President of Armenia that Yerevan offers peace based
on human values.
"I wonder what Sargsyan implies? Apparently, occupation of the
territory of a neighbouring country, a complete violation of
international law, bloody ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Armenian
forces on the territory of Azerbaijan, the Khojaly genocide when men
in military uniforms now leading Armenia spared neither women nor
children," Abdullayev said.
According to him, given these facts, human values are seen by Armenian
President exclusively in the light of his own views.
Today, there is no peace and stability in the region and the constant
tightening of the peace process by official Yerevan is a blow to the
prospects of stability, prosperity and development of the region,
Abdullayev said.
"Armenia is the only one to blame for this. Attempts by the
internationally recognised aggressor to blame others for their failures
look very primitive and irresponsible," he said.
Commenting on Sargsyan's words about a new reality in which Armenia
lives, Abdullayev said Azerbaijan has directed the full potential for
the development of the region and successfully implemented the plan
over several years acting as the initiator of many regional projects
of global importance.
"Unfortunately, Armenia misses opportunity after opportunity to become
involved in these regional processes and its leadership is the only one
to blame. Economic growth, as well as other components of Sargsyan's
'new reality' are impossible without participation in these projects,"
he said.
The result of the so-called economic growth in Armenia is evident. The
country is not developing and the fragile economic situation is not
going to change without regional cooperation, Abdullayev said.
According to him, in the first place this short-sighted policy of
Yerevan affects people who are forced to leave Armenia in search of
a better life.
"The Armenian president shamelessly deceives his own people saying
not a word of truth about the current reality. Lack of pragmatism of
the leadership of Armenia has a very negative impact on the economy as
a whole and on each citizen of Armenia in particular," Abdullayev said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
