(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 20. Speaker of the
House of Representatives of the US congress Nancy Pelosi's
three-day visit to Armenia, which started on September 17, caused
serious resonance, Member of Azerbaijani Parliament (Milli Majlis)
Vugar Iskenderov told Trend .
Pelosi made strong statements against Azerbaijan after meeting
with the President of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen
Simonyan on September 18, calling Azerbaijan the 'culprit' of the
September 12-14 events on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
Nancy Pelosi's visit to Armenia and her statements with gross
and biased distortion of the reality in the region create obstacles
to sustainable peace and stability in the South Caucasus, encourage
separatism, incite ethnic hatred, deepening contradictions.
He noted that certain forces fueled by the Armenians in the US
have recently become active again. The reason for this is also
related to the upcoming US elections.
'Nancy Pelosi's visit to Armenia is aimed at building the
support of the Armenians during the pre-election period. Pelosi is
thinking about how to keep her seat in Congress, and therefore
wants to stand out by becoming a kind of 'godmother' for
Armenians',' Iskenderov said.
According to him, the whole world watched as Pelosi, known
mainly for her support of separatism, showed a similar position in
connection with Taiwan.
“Recently, she openly demonstrated her support for separatism by
visiting Taiwan. As a result, things almost came to a diplomatic
crisis between the US and China. And now Pelosi has appeared in
Armenia. And precisely after another military provocation by
Armenia. There is no doubt that this trip will also lead to tension
', - Iskenderov said.
The deputy noted that her crocodile tears are a game designed
for a primitive audience.
'Why did Pelosi, who cares so much about the 'security' and
'territorial integrity' of Armenia, keep silent for 30 years about
the occupation of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia? Why has she never
visited Azerbaijan in these years? In a word, her true intentions
are obvious. However, everyone knows Azerbaijan's determination.
Pelosi's unfounded statements, made in order to get the votes of
the Armenians, will not be able to make us deviate from the path of
truth,' he said.
Member of Azerbaijani Parliament (Milli Majlis) Jeyhun Mammadov
said that Nancy Pelosi's visit to Armenia and her statements are
evidence of open support for separatism.
'Recently, she openly demonstrated her support for separatism by
visiting Taiwan. Another such visit, this time to Armenia, once
again showed that she supports separatism and not the peaceful
coexistence of peoples. Undoubtedly, Pelosi's main goal in this
visit is to enlist the support of the Armenians. The 82-year-old
Speaker of the House of Representatives of the US congress is not
thinking about retirement, but about keeping her seat in Congress.
It should be noted that she has always been pro-Armenian, and her
statements during her visit to Armenia that go beyond all
diplomatic boundaries once again testify to this,' he informed.
'Nancy Pelosi, who poses as a supporter of truth and justice,
has never visited Azerbaijan during the 30-year Armenian
occupation, hasn't demonstrated support for Azerbaijan, has not
condemned the atrocities of Armenians against Azerbaijanis. Why
didn't she issue a statement condemning the vandalism of Armenians
who destroyed all settlements, infrastructure, graves, and
religious and historical monuments in the territories they
occupied?.' Mammadov added.
He noted that Azerbaijan has been striving for a fair and
peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict for all 30 years, but
Armenia has always frustrated these attempts. As a result,
Azerbaijan independently implemented four resolutions of the UN
Security Council, freeing its lands from the Armenian
occupation.
'It's well known that Armenians were the ones who committed the
genocide of the Turkic peoples throughout history. To say that
Armenia 'was subjected to genocide' is a false statement. Such
statements seriously hinder peace and security in the region,'
Mammadov concluded.
