PreferredYEREVAN. – The authorities of Azerbaijan, which has lost the war, are attempting to create the impression among their people that, as if, the fight for Karabakh goes on.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated the above-said while addressing the Yerkrapah Volunteers Union’s tenth congress being held Saturday in capital city Yerevan (PHOTOS).
“This convention is taking place at a time when there is neither peace nor war. The [Armenian] soldiers and civilians are being killed on our border from the adversary’s fire. Such an act is common murder nothing to do with the war. It is these murders which the Azerbaijani propaganda presents to its people as, allegedly, fight for Karabakh,” Sargsyan said, in particular.
In his words, these killings have another objective: “To regularly aggravate the situation, and keep lit the fire of enmity against the entire Armenian nation.”
“The murders on the border have yet another objective. The months of January and February are overloaded with ‘black’ days on the official calendar of Azerbaijan. They blame the Armenians and everyone in the world, but not themselves, for that.
“Azerbaijan’s last [military] diversion attempt, which had an inglorious end, was on the very January 20. The culmination point of the pogroms of the Armenians in [Azerbaijani capital city] Baku was the mobs’ setting on fire of the Armenian church in Baku; this happened at a time when the Soviet troops had not yet entered Baku; this is the truth, and the residents of Baku know this very well.
“These murders have yet another objective: to burn the bridges of peace. To rule out the chances for mutual understanding between the Armenian and the Azerbaijani peoples; [and] I consider this to be the most perilous for our two nations.
“Why are the [Azerbaijani] snipers not withdrawn from the boundary line? Because a murder is the last argument in a debate. Money and murder; here are two arguments which the adversary brings when dealing with us and the world.” President Serzh Sargsyan also stated, in particular.
