Baku/17.06.14/Turan: Azerbaijan proposes to exclude Armenia from the
NATO PA. The proposal was made by the First Vice-Speaker of Azerbaijani
Parliament Ziyafet Askerov June 17, speaking at the 86th Rose Roth
seminar of NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Baku.
Addressing the participants of the event - representatives of Armenia,
Askerov accused them of trying to disrupt the seminar.
"The Armenian delegation is engaged in provocations here. Under the
guise that they raise questions, representatives of Armenia in their
speeches hit on Azerbaijan," said Askerov. At the same time he called
Armenia terrorist state.
"Armenia is a terrorist state that occupied 20% of Azerbaijan's
territory and committed more than 30 terrorist acts on the territory of
Azerbaijan. Therefore, we believe it is necessary to exclude Armenia
from the NATO Parliamentary Assembly," said the Vice-speaker.
He further noted that the policy of terror in Armenia is carried out
at the state level.
Their public policy is based on Armenian terrorism. The head of Armenia
Serge Sargsyan is a terrorist, and the terrorist Robert Kocharian
was there before. Why do not you talk about the Khojaly genocide?
The father of Tevan Poghosyan taking part in this event (Zhirair
Poghosyan, the so-called "prime minister" of Nagorno-Karabakh
in 1998-1999) is also a terrorist who participated in the ethnic
cleansing and war crimes committed in Nagorno-Karabakh. It was proved
by investigations carried out by the Prosecutor General of Azerbaijan.
And the day is near when your father will be held accountable,"
Askerov said, referring to Poghosyan.
In response Poghosyan said he was proud of his father for that, as
"he loved his homeland." He further stated that the last time when
the Armenian delegation participated in the event in Baku, Armenia
was called "fascist" and "now - a terrorist."
Poghosyan also said that the war was fought with Karabakh "and to
solve it Azerbaijan should talk with Karabakh, not Armenia."
After this a skirmish involved Azerbaijani MP Siyavush Novruzov,
saying that 90,000 Armenians of Karabakh could not win the war with
the country with a population of 8.5 million. Armenia and Russia
actively helped them. He recalled the active participation of the
366th regiment of the Russian army in the capture of Khojaly and
other Azerbaijani settlements.
Thereafter, the representative of Lithuania urged the Azerbaijani
and Armenian delegations to use the event for recrimination, urging
the parties to a constructive dialogue. She also recalled that from
the current situation and the unresolved conflict "the third great
country" has more to gain. -06c-
