(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 24. The Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the aggressive rhetoric of
the Armenian leadership towards Azerbaijan which has been growing
in recent days, Spokesperson for the ministry Aykhan Hajizada said,
trend reports.
He made the remark in response to a question from local media
outlets about the provocative statements of Armenian President
Vahagn Khachaturyan related to normalization of relations between
Azerbaijan and Armenia.
According to the spokesperson, these kind of statements,
ignoring the growing international efforts to advance the peace
agenda between Azerbaijan and Armenia, serve to deliberately
exacerbate the situation in the region.
“Both during the period of occupation and in the post-war
period, practice has shown that the Armenian side usually, before
committing military provocations, conducts such a massive
disinformation campaign in order to shift responsibility to the
Azerbaijani side,” he said.
Besides, according to Hajizada, accusing Azerbaijan of ethnic
cleansing and military rhetoric by Armenian leadership, which
carried out ethnic cleansing and massacres of Azerbaijanis,
occupied Azerbaijani territories, destroyed cities and villages, is
an example of falsification.
“To establish peace in the region, the leadership of Armenia
must abandon aggressive rhetoric, stop aggressive activities,
infringement on the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and
interference in internal affairs," he added.
