(MENAFN- azernews)
elnur enveroglu read more following the recent armenian provocations near the conventional
border between armenia and azerbaijan, especially at the lachin
border checkpoint, the activity of the exit point was temporarily
suspended for the purpose of investigation. the azerbaijani side's
attitude to the provocations and the suspension of travel in return
caused a strong counter-reaction in armenia.
armenia is accusing azerbaijan of allegedly carrying out ethnic
cleansing against the armenian minorities in karabakh. armenia,
which commits a crime against azerbaijan while recognizing its
territory and, moreover, hinders the investigation of that crime,
showing its extremely shameless face, even interferes with the
european union inadequately in the matter.
azernews learned the opinion of british
political analyst neil watson regarding the issue. according to
him, pashinyan is clearly trying to prevent peace by doing all
these things.
“in my view, pashinyan often makes statements and then the
reverse seems to happen. there could be several reasons behind
this. firstly, it may be indicative that he is still trying to
placate his compatriots and the diaspora, who are actively against
a peace treaty. secondly, the armenian government may feel
empowered to make these claims, due to the ongoing support of iran
and russia. thirdly, armenia may be still attempting to badge this
as a religious conflict so as to gain eu support for the
maintenance of the illegal armenian entity in karabakh. fourthly,
and most concerning, it may be that pashinyan is gradually losing
control, and these government statements are being made without his
approval. certainly, such claims are extremely unhelpful when the
signing of a peace treaty is so near, yet so far,” the expert
said.
another issue is the claims made against azerbaijan by the
european union in solidarity with armenia, but illegally. first of
all, the political leadership of the european union, which should
learn to pronounce the name karabakh correctly, not "nagorno
karabakh", should remember the statements of the president of the
republic of azerbaijan, ilham aliyev.
president ilham aliyev said in his statements that karabakh is
already considered a fully internal issue of azerbaijan. both the
european and armenian leaders have expressed their unequivocal
acceptance of this. this also confirms that the problems of the
armenian minorities in karabakh also belong to the republic of
azerbaijan. in such a case, european union join and support
armenia's baseless statement regarding the closing of the lachin
road by azerbaijan without listening the other side.
according to the expert, armenia can gain more influence in the
european union because it can attract certain supporters in its
surrounding.
“most countries in the eu are christian and unfortunately
armenian propaganda has been extremely successful in making the
roots of the conflict opaque, clouded by badging this as a
religious conflict and recompense for the alleged events of 1915 at
the hands of ottoman turkiye. the eu certainly has no legal basis
for its statement, but that doesn't seem to stop it from making
comments and statements based on falsified information.
azerbaijan may have won the war, but the fact is that armenia
seems determined to protract the peace negotiations in the hope
that the illegal regime in armenia will remain and eventually be
strengthened by such third countries as russia and iran. even if a
peace treaty is signed, and i feel it will, azerbaijan has a long
way to go before it will win the peace and dispel all the false
information spread by armenia over the years,” watson added.
