AZERBAIJAN: ARMENIA FOREIGN MINISTER'S WORDS "PEAK OF SHAMELESSNESS"

BAKU. Sept 30
Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry has branded a statement by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandian that Azerbaijan poses a threat to
regional security as "the peak of shamelessness."
"Armenia continues to violate international law in trying to delude
public opinion. By his contradictory speech, the Armenian minister
again demonstrated the helplessness of Armenia," Azeri Foreign Ministry
spokesman Elman Abdullayev told a briefing on Monday.
Abdullayev cited UN Security Council resolutions as saying it is the
ongoing Armenian occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding Azeri
areas that threatens regional security.
"The Armenian minister of foreign affairs must not forget that
resolutions issued by the UN Security Council prove yet again that
Nagorno-Karabakh and the seven neighboring districts are Azeri
territory and qualify Armenia as an invader. Nalbandian's statement
that Azerbaijan poses a threat to regional security is the peak of
shamelessness. Naturally Azerbaijan has to build up its military
potential as part of our territory is under foreign occupation,"
the spokesman said.
"It must come home to official Yerevan that Azerbaijan is making use
of all its resources to liberate its lands because it is the duty of
the state to defend to rights of Azeri citizens. The Armenian minister
of foreign affairs is so helpless that he tries to distort the text
of the resolutions of the UN Security Council," Abdullayev said.
He dismissed Nalbandian's allegation that a statement by Azeri
President Ilham Aliyev that Yerevan had been an Azeri city in the
distant past represented a territorial claim. "It doesn't mean a
territorial claim, it's a historical fact," Abdullayev said. "Just
go through archives and it will become clear immediately that Yerevan
was historically an Azeri city," he said.
