(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 21. Azerbaijan is not a
country one can speak in hostile manner with, Allahshukur
Pashazade, Chairman of the Caucasus Muslims' Board (CMB) told
journalists, trend reports.
He made the remark, responding to the recent statement of
Armenian Catholicos, who called on Armenians for a new war against
Azerbaijan.
"The new calls of the Armenian Catholicos for war stem from the
fact that he became a victim of Political ambitions, and it is
wrong that the clergy interfere in politics," Pashazade said.
Following over a month of military action to liberate its
territories from the long-lasting Armenian occupation from late
Sept. to early Nov. 2020, Azerbaijan pushed Armenia to sign the
surrender document. A joint statement on the matter was made by the
Azerbaijani president, Armenia's PM, and the president of
Russia.
A complete ceasefire and a cessation of all hostilities in the
zone of the Karabakh conflict were introduced on Nov. 10, 2020.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in
1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, the Armenian Armed Forces occupied 20
percent of Azerbaijan, including the Karabakh region and seven
surrounding districts. The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by
peace negotiations.
