(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Sabina Mammadli read more Armenian Foreign Ministry aims to cover up the occupation policy
implemented by Armenia in nearly 30 years, as well as the current
and future provocations against Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis,
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Aykhan Hajizada said.
'Presenting the facts of the purposeful destruction of hundreds
of our cities and villages, historical and religious monuments by
Armenia during the 30-year occupation; the plundering of our
natural resources; the disappearance of nearly 4,000 of our
citizens and the discovery of mass graves; Armenia's continued mine
threats; failure to completely remove the Armenian armed forces
from the territories of Azerbaijan contrary to territorial
integrity and sovereignty, as well as commitments undertaken within
the Trilateral Statement; obstructing the opening of the Zangazur
corridor; ethnic cleansing against the Azerbaijani population in
Armenia and the demand for the safe and dignified return of the
Western Azerbaijan Community to their native lands, as a
'territorial claim' and 'preparation for aggression' against
Armenia, is completely groundless,' the official said in a
statement.
Moreover, Hajizada underlined the hypocrisy behind a country
like Armenia, which carried out“Armenization” of the historical
lands of Azerbaijan, to now present Azerbaijan's use of the term
Western Azerbaijan Community as a violation of international
law
He also highlighted that Armenia has no moral right to talk
about the rights of internally displaced persons and refugees after
Azerbaijan liberated its native lands, where Armenia carried out
ethnic cleansing against almost 1 million Azerbaijanis, depriving
them of the right to return to their homes for 30 years of
occupation.
Furthermore, the spokesperson remarked that Azerbaijan is
already taking steps toward the reintegration of Armenian residents
living in its territory and has proposed to hold the next meeting
with Armenian residents in Baku. However, he added that Armenia has
rejected the dialogue proposal of the Western Azerbaijan
Community.
'This is an indication that Armenia is not interested in peace
and stability in the region and is conducting a duplicitous policy.
Azerbaijani side will take all necessary steps within the framework
of international law against any provocation by Armenia,' the
statement finalized.
