ARA PAPYAN ABOUT DAVUTOGLU'S STATEMENT: "TURKS HAVE NO REASON TO SPEAK."
August 16 2013
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu stated in Gabalayum that
Turkey is ready to do everything possible to stop the occupation of
Azerbaijani lands by Armenia. He also noted that the liberation of
the other occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan
continues to be the main direction of their foreign policy, and
that will continue in the same way. Davutoglu stressed that they are
complaining against "20 percent of occupation of Azerbaijani lands,
and the forced deportation of Azerbaijanis from their homes." In
an interview with Aravot.am regarding the topic, the president of
"Modus Vivendi" Center Ara Papyan said,- "The fact that Davutoglu made
these expressions is not strange, because keeping Armenia in possibly
limited capacity has always been a priority for Turkey. Turkey knows
very well that any liberation of Armenia premises, will lead to the
strengthening of Armenia. And talking about the occupation is wrong,
because the occupation under international rights, is the occupation of
the territory legally belonging to any country by armed forces of given
country. Now we do not have territory legally belonging to Azerbaijan,
because this territory has not been given to Azerbaijan by the law,
it was given to the Azerbaijani administrative jurisdiction by the
party decision of the Political Bureau. It is a territory of Armenia
according to the National League, so the moment of the occupation has
come out. Secondly, it cannot be the other component, occupation by a
foreign army, because the army was composed of Karabakh people, and we,
the Armenians, have helped, but we were support strength. Therefore,
the expression that it has been a seizure of 20% by Armenia, it was
an obvious manifestation of Turkish policy."
As for the opinion expressed by Davutoglu that it would be difficult
to ensure peace and security in the South Caucasus and Central Asia,
as long as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not resolved peacefully
and within the framework of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity,
Papyan said,- "The fact that it would be difficult unless the
conflict is not resolved, he is right, but not within the framework
of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. I repeat again, there is no
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, and there is no such concept
in international rights, there is a violation of the territorial
integrity by use of external force, or threat, and it is missing. And
if Davutoglu speaks of peace in the region, first they must expose
RA territories to de-occupation, which they have kept occupied since
September-November 1920. Then, let them give our territories back,
then talk. I'm not even talking about Cyprus that 30 percent is
captured. Whoever speaks, Turks have no reason to speak."
