AZERBAIJANI OFFICIAL'S RESPONSE HARDLY ADEQUATE - ARTAK APITONIAN
19:55 20.08.13
Artak Apitonian, Head of the External Relations Department, RA
Presidential Office, has commented on his Azerbaijani counterpart
Novruz Mammadov's response to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's
statement on the forthcoming presidential election in Azerbaijan.
"I think Mr Mammadov's response is hardly adequate, which may be the
result of a nervous atmosphere within Azerbaijan's ruling circles,"
he said.
This is a poorly concealed complex of drawing comparisons with Armenia
and Armenians, he added.
At the closing ceremony of the Baze-2013 all-Armenian gathering last
Saturday, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated that Azerbaijan's
incumbent President Ilham Aliyev's victory in the forthcoming
presidential election in that country would be the best option for
Armenia.
Mammadov immediately responded to the Armenian leader's statement.
Azerbaijan's president does not need Serzh Sargsyan's support. He
is supported by such world leaders as US President Barack Obama and
Russian President Vladimir Putin.
