March 3, 2014 - 16:38 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Baku expressed resentment over a Twitter post of
the U.S. Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, commemorating the Sumgait
pogroms.
"We also remember Sumgait. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan should support
people-to-people programs to develop tolerance and trust," James
Warlick tweeted.
According to APA, Azeri Foreign Ministry was fast to react to the
post. "Unrests happened in Sumgait, but the causes, context, facts
and realities are completely different," Deputy Foreign Minister Araz
Azimov said, commenting on Warlick's post.
As Azimov noted, Warlick also shared his views on the so-called
"Khojalu genocide" on Twitter. "Twitter is not a place to discuss
Khojalu," Azimov added.
"On the date of the Khojalu tragedy, we are reminded that violence
is not the answer. All parties must work harder for a peaceful
settlement," said Warlick in his Tweet.
"I can not respond to Warlick on Twitter, because the message on
Twitter must consist of only 120 letters. Warlick has recently been
appointed to this post and should view the realities of the conflict,"
Azimov said.
