24 September: "The speech by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is
full of contradictory points. In general, Sargsyan used expressions
that run counter to international principles. Sargsyan had better
take a look at his own country. As a result of ethnic cleansing and
policy of intolerance Armenia has turned into a mono-ethnic country
today," the press secretary of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry,
Elman Abdullayev, told APA.
He was commenting on the speech Serzh Sargsyan made at the Sochi
meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organization about some
countries within the organization taking steps out of line with
the Armenian position, especially on Nagornyy Karabakh. Sargsyan
criticized those countries and said that there was hatred of Armenians
in Azerbaijan.
Abdullayev said that without counting Nagornyy Karabakh there are
30,000 Armenians and many other peoples in Azerbaijan: "Azerbaijan
has been the cradle and centre of tolerance in the South Caucasus. It
is no coincidence that all international events, humanitarian forums,
civilizational and intercultural dialogues are held in Azerbaijan. The
cultural legacy of other peoples is no longer there in Armenia,
all of it has been destroyed.
Commenting on the Armenian president's remarks that he respects
the principle of territorial integrity, Abdullayev pointed out that
Azerbaijan has always displayed a normal position on implementing the
principle of self-determination within the framework of principle of
territorial integrity: "Why do then the Armenian armed forces remain
in Azerbaijan's occupied territories. In general, by accusing other
countries Serzh Sargsyan once more demonstrated the helpless position
of Armenia. It is natural and normal that he respects the principle of
territorial integrity of other countries, because today this principle
is the inviolable one at the foundation of the system of international
relations. However, his words and actions do not match."
