Baku. Mubariz Aslanov - APA. Speech of Matthew Bryza, former U.S.
co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group and US ambassador to Azerbaijan,
Director of the International Centre for Defence Studies caused
scandal at the NATO PA seminar in Baku.
APA reports that making speech at the second part of the 86th seminar
of the NATO PA on "South Caucasus: Challenges and Opportunities", M.
Bryza said that Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents can not reach
necessary level of mutual confidence for compromising and settlement
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict yet.
Bryza noted that in spite of efforts by the OSCE Minsk Group for
long years, the problem is still remaining unsolved: "It's needed to
work hard to reduce usage of military version in the settlement of
the conflict".
Without mentioning reasons of the conflict, M. Bryza called on sides
to compromise generally.
Armenian delegation welcomed Bryza's speech and asked for speech out
of the program. President of NATO PA Hugh Bayley called on them to
stick to the time-limit. Thereafter, head of Armenian delegation
Koryun Nahapetyan made speech. He demanded Azerbaijani side to
withdraw snipers from frontline. Member of Azerbaijani delegation
to NATO PA Gudrat Hasanguliyev commented on speeches of Bryza and
Armenian delegation: "I always criticized M. Bryza's position and
have to criticize again. Though, Bryza is an independent expert,
he conducts himself as a worker of the US Department of State and
expresses its position. Mr. Bryza, because of your spouse is Turk,
Armenians did not allow you acting as an ambassador to Azerbaijan
more than a year. Do you expect justice from them?"
Thereafter, G. Hasanguliyev told Armenians delegation: "An agreement
on settlement of the conflict was reached at the end of 1990s between
Azerbaijan and Armenia. However, an execution in Armenian parliament
ruined everything. Armenian's behavior shows that it is not needed
to conduct negotiations with it. Because Armenia is afraid of Russia
and they move under this fear. It would be better the talks to be
held with Russia, but not Armenia. Since Karabakh war started, you
have destroyed and banished all other nations. You changed Armenia to
monoethnic country. Today, only strange nation in Armenia is servicemen
of Russia's 102nd military base. What will you say about it?"
Hasanguliyev also responded to Armenia's accusations on that Turkey
supports Azerbaijan: "During the first years of Karabakh war, President
Abulfaz Elchibey asked Turkey for a helicopter to evacuate people
from Kalbajar in order to prevent second Khojaly massacre.
Turkey did not respond to us. Instead of it, Turkey gave 5 tones of
grain to Armenia. Why don't Armenian delegation focus on this?"
Member of Armenian delegation Tevan Poghosyan spoke about Ramil
Safarov. He tried to distort the UN resolutions.
Head of Azerbaijani delegation to NATO PA Ziyafet Asgerov asked
questions to Armenian delegation and Matthew Bryza: "Mr. Bryza,
please, tell us what means Karabakh word? You don't know, let me tell
you. Karabakh word is an original Azerbaijani word consisting of Kara
Bakh (Black Garden). That's it is not Armenian word. This remained
unchanged in medieval, period of Khanates, even USSR too. Mr. Bryza
and Armenian counterparts where you address it will show that Karabakh
is an Azerbaijani land. The article #1 of the UN SC resolution #822
says: "The UN Security Country condemns occupation of Kalbajar and
neighboring regions by Armenia and demands immediate liberation". Next
article says: "Occupation of Aghdam and neighboring regions is
condemned and it's demanded Armenian troops to withdraw from there".
Resolution #874: "The UN condemns occupation of Zangilan and
neighboring regions by Armenia and demands immediate liberation. Same
documents on other regions include same texts. What do you need more?"
Z.Asgerov criticized international community for being indifferent to
occupation of Azerbaijani territories by Armenians: "The US destroyed
Libya immediately after the UN SC resolutions, Iraq and other regions
faced same policy due to chemical weapon. However, you could not find
anything. Today, Iraqi people suffer torments, you know, I know too,
but world community is not confused. Even, you destroyed Yugoslavia
without any mandate of the UN. This is also your work, in your honest.
Why is your honest so silent? However, the UN has resolutions
regarding Nagorno Karabak for 20 years? Why are these resolutions
still unfulfilled? You apply sanctions on Russia regarding Crimea,
Ukraine. Why don't you impose sanctions on Armenia for 20 years? our
territories also have been occupied. Mr. Fogh Rasmussen made a speech
on Ukraine crisis at the NATO PA meeting in Lithuania. Why don't you
make speech about Azerbaijan? Why don't you adopt resolution regarding
Azerbaijan? Put an end to this double standards. Shame!"
Z. Asgerov also told Armenians who caviled at "enemy" word used by
Azerbaijan: "Armenian delegation says that Azerbaijani president
called Armenia "enemy". Do we have to call it a friendly country? It
occupied 20% of our territory, we have 1 mln of refugees. Now you
demand us not to call you "enemy"? Mr. Armenian MPs you occupied
Azerbaijan's lands your posts are in Zangilan, Gubadli, Fuzuli and
other regions. Now you demand us to withdraw the snipers from them.
We'll withdraw snipers when you ge back to your Armenia-Azerbaijan
border. I defend my territory from my enemy. What does your sniper
do there? What do you do where my snipers are?"
The seminar is going on after break.
