Armenia's poor governance may lead to "liberation" of Karabakh
The Azerbaijani president has said that the longer the incumbent
Armenian leader remains in power the more likely it will be to
"liberate" Nagornyy Karabakh and the surrounding regions of
Azerbaijan.
"The longer the Armenian authorities and their leader [Serzh] Sargsyan
remain in power, the sooner our territories will be liberated -
because this person and his close circle have led Armenia to collapse.
The economy has collapsed, people are fleeing the country. According
to official statistics, every year 80, 000 Armenians leave the country
permanently," President Ilham Aliyev said.
He made the remarks during the inspection of a new residential area
for IDPs from Agdam town which partially came under Armenian military
control in 1993.
"We will rebuild Agdam after it is liberated...[ellipsis as published]
The fact that the town has been razed to the ground is an
unprecedented atrocity. Our historical monuments, mosques and
historical places have been destroyed and plundered. Who has done
this? Armenians - barbarians have committed it," Aliyev said.
BBCM note: Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on 17 August that it
would be "most beneficial" for Armenia if incumbent Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev were to win the October election. Sargsyan also
said that certain progress has been made in the negotiation process
over the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict and that Aliyev's re-election
"would be the most acceptable choice for us".
