The RA Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding the false claims and belligerent statements of the President of Azerbaijan.
“On March 16, the speech of the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, during the summit of the heads of the Turkic states, was a clear manifestation of territorial claims against the Republic of Armenia and preparations for another aggression.
By presenting the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia under the fictitious name “Western Azerbaijan”, the President of Azerbaijan grossly violates not only the UN Charter, the UNGA Declaration on the Principles of International Law of Neighborly Relations and Cooperation between States, the Almaty Declaration, but also his own obligations under the Prague and Sochi declarations. , to which reference is made in this very speech.
Azerbaijan continuously obstructs the return of refugees and internally displaced persons to Nagorno-Karabakh and neighboring regions, while at the same time announcing that it is going to resettle the territories that came under its control as a result of the deportation of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Violating essentially all the articles of the tripartite declaration of November 9, 2020, the president of Azerbaijan is obstructing the process of opening regional communications with his own admission of fictitious talk about the corridors.
The belligerent rhetoric of the leader of Azerbaijan is aimed at completely disrupting the efforts to establish stability in the South Caucasus and resorting to the use of large-scale force against both the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. Moreover, the insulting language used against the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is accompanied by actions aimed at creating a humanitarian disaster on the ground, demonstrates Azerbaijan’s unconcealed policy of ethnic cleansing at the highest level.
Moreover, voicing such provocative theses in Ankara aims not only to undermine the ongoing peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but also to inhibit the positive dynamics in the process of normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations.
“All partners interested in the stability and peace of the region should immediately evaluate the similar policy of the President of Azerbaijan and take active steps to eliminate the violations of international law by Azerbaijan and exclude the use of force.”
