Nothing of what Azerbaijan tells the world on international floors can
be considered to be truth. It is a constant torrent of lie combined
with anti- Armenian rhetoric, Vahram Kazhoyan, Secretary General of
the Armenian National Commission for UNESCO, said during the General
Debate of the 68th session of the UN General Assembly.
Kazhoyan stressed that nothing else can be expected from the country
whose president says in public that Armenians worldwide are the
enemies of Azerbaijan. He added that Azerbaijan's behavior is nothing
else but xenophobia and it is liable to prosecution, at least in the
civilized world.
Kazhoyan recalled that Azerbaijan is the only country in the world
that boasts of its immense military expenditures. In the meantime,
official Baku is self-contradictory, he said. On the one hand, Baku
advocates a peaceful dialogue and peaceful conflict settlement, on
the other hand, the Azeri president states that he will never let
Armenia join any political, economic, energy or transport project
and that he will continue the policy on isolation of Armenia.
He said that the UN Security Council's resolution urge the
Azeri authorities to stop military actions against civilians in
Nagorno-Karabakh but despite the cease-fire treaty they signed in
1994, they keep using snipers to kill soldiers and civilians in
Nagorno-Karabakh and keep refusing to withdraw them.
Kazhoyan said that all the Azeri authorities have said so far proves
that Azerbaijan is a racist and xenophobe state. He quoted Azeri
President Ilham Aliyev as saying on Sept 18 that Azerbaijan's national
flag must be hoisted in Shushi and Stepanakert and that the Azeris must
continue living in their historic lands "Irevan Khanate, Gokce and
Zangezur." Kazhoyan explained to the Assembly that by Irevan Khanate
Aliyev meant Yerevan, the capital of independent Armenia - a member of
the United Nations. "So, what else is this but aggressive-militarist
xenophobia?" Kazhoyan concluded.
