'Humanitarian Catastrophe' Out Of Thin Air: Armenian Foreign Ministry At It Again
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 3 . Amid the ongoing
peaceful protest of Azerbaijanis against the illegal exploitation
of mineral deposits in the zone of temporary deployment of Russian
peacekeepers in Karabakh, the Armenian Foreign Ministry made
another questionable statement.
The statement claims that Azerbaijan has allegedly been blocking
the Lachin road for the third week, thereby creating a
'humanitarian catastrophe'.
This, of course, has no basis, since the Lachin-Khankendi road
is open for humanitarian purposes. There are photos and videos
being published daily, showing that the supply vehicles, ambulances
freely pass the road. Today alone over 15 cars have passed. This
obviously looks like anything but 'humanitarian catastrophe'.
Such statements and actions of Armenia are doomed to fail, just
like the recent unsuccessful attempt by Yerevan, with the help of
France, to pass an anti-Azerbaijani resolution in the UN Security
Council in connection with the situation around the
Lachin-Khankendi road. France, being a member of the UN Security
Council, was unable to succeed with this statement, which in the
truest sense of the word is a great shame for Paris and the defeat
of the Franco-Armenian tandem.
The trilateral statement pointed out by the Armenian Foreign
Ministry provides for the use of the Lachin-Khankendi road only for
humanitarian purposes. Of course, the separatists, who, under the
patronage of Ruben Vardanyan, have established an illegal business
in Karabakh and are plundering the natural resources of Azerbaijan,
are worried that they cannot transport the mined gold along the
Lachin-Khankendi road to Armenia. For this reason, they want to
present the situation as a 'humanitarian catastrophe' and make sure
Azerbaijan feels the international pressure.
So, the mentioned statement by the Armenian Foreign Ministry
does not serve the purposes of post-conflict normalization and is
aimed at misleading the international community. Yet again.
