Elnur Enveroglu read more Armenia's act of burning and tearing flags of Azerbaijan and
Turkiye aims at impeding normalization process of
Azerbaijan-Armenia and Turkiye-Armenia relations, Azerbaijani
political analyst Sadraddin Soltan told Azernews ,
commenting on the aftermath of Armenia's recent attack on
Azerbaijani flag during the European Weightlifting Championship in
Yerevan, Armenia.
According to the expert, Armenia interprets such an event in a
self-serving way and associates it with unnecessary events.
However, Armenia forgets that Azerbaijan has many times received
representatives of Armenia at the OSCE event held in Baku, Baku
2015 European Games and at other events and they never faced any
problem in our country.
“Unfortunately, Armenia's pro-government and other media outlets
try to justify such a shameful act of Armenia before eyes of
international delegations, relating it to some groundless issues
which is totally ridiculous.”
Speaking about the claims of the Armenian side, the expert gave
the following reasons for the excuses they make:“The Armenian side
allegedly interpreted the incident as an excuse that Azerbaijanis
threw stones at their athletes at a sports event held in 2011.
However, 12 years ago, the situation was completely different. At
that time, the lands of Azerbaijan were under Armenian occupation
and there was no question of peace. Therefore, I think Armenian
media's excuse of relating Nikolyan's acts to the event in the past
is absurd and nonsensical.”
Expert also added that Armenia's act of burning and tearing
flags of Azerbaijan and Turkiye is a clear display of hatred, and
by means of that Armenia expresses lack of its interest in making
peaceful relations with both leading countries in the region.
“Such a step of the Armenian authority and community may
indicate that Armenia is disinterested in normalization of
Azerbaijan-Armenia and Turkiye-Armenia relations. In all cases, the
Azerbaijani side, by sending the Azerbaijani athletes to Yerevan,
is trying to say that it intends to establish peaceful relations
with Armenia. The fact that this step was taken especially after
the brutality committed by the Armenian side against the captured
Azerbaijani soldier and armed provocation around the border clearly
shows that Azerbaijan has a good-willing and peace-making
intention,” the expert emphasized.
