(MENAFN- AzerNews) By trend
Rubik Vardanyan, who became one of the leaders of the
separatists overnight, a former Russian oligarch who fled Moscow to
save his billions from Western sanctions, continues to do
everything possible to prevent dialogue and reconciliation between
the peoples, under the guise of 'saving' the Armenian population of
the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, Parvin Mirzazade,
Ambassador-at-Large of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, said in
his latest article, Trend reports Dec.13.
“Vardanyan, who considers himself the master of the territory
where Russian peacekeepers are temporarily deployed, not only
provokes new conflicts with his 'loud', irresponsible statements,
but also threatens the entire peace process, putting at risk the
civilians of both the Karabakh region and Armenia. It was with the
emergence of Vardanyan in the Karabakh region that the situation
began to escalate, as he did everything, he could to provoke a new
armed confrontation with the Azerbaijani side, presenting himself
as the only 'saviour' of the Armenian population,” reads the
article.
Mirzazade notes that the Armenian side, with the Russian
peacekeepers remaining silent, carried out provocative actions
against representatives of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Ecology, who
tried to monitor the illegally exploited gold and molybdenum
deposits.
“These events revealed that Vardanyan, who appeared there
himself and tried to enter negotiations with representatives of the
Azerbaijani authorities, but received a categorical rejection of
any conversation with him, rushed home empty-handed. The
Azerbaijani side has long ago stated that it will not hold any
talks with Rubik and others like him, because these obscure
individuals are not representatives of the Armenian population of
Karabakh, but criminals illegally present in the territory of
Azerbaijan, who have grossly violated the laws of the country and
are subject to criminal prosecution,” says the
ambassador-at-large.
Mirzazade notes that Rubik also undermines the peace efforts of
international mediators to achieve peace and disavows statements by
Armenian authorities that they recognize the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan and only want some kind of negotiation process on
'security guarantees' for the Armenian population of the Karabakh
region.
“Azerbaijan does not intend to tolerate such a situation any
longer. In other words, if provocations by Vardanyan and his
company are continued, no one can help them to escape from the
sword of the Azerbaijani justice. So, get this straight, gentlemen
provocateurs!” the article reads.
