The Azerbaijani leader goes on dishonoring his own commitments to the international community, acting in defiance of the documents he signed in Meyendorff and Astrakhan. Ilham Aliyev dislikes the history he taught at Moscow State Institute of International Relations and invents his own false history. Disregarding modern international law, he is trying to assume the groundless position of right of force, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan stated, commenting on provocative statements by President Aliyev yesterday.

“The Astrakhan Declaration provides for building up confidence through exchange of POWs and dead bodies. However, Ilham Aliyev is using the process to build up tension. The Aliyev regime needs to be fed with blood, including the blood of its own people.  They are not satisfied with the consequences of their own aggression. Aliyev sends commandoes to die, and, according to his own words, they are well aware they must die. He arranges burial ceremonies simultaneously burying the very possibility of settling the conflict by means of compromise. It is clear that a new fit of anti-Armenian hysteria occurred on the day of ‘electing’ representatives of the Aliyev clan to Parliament to divert public attention from the new stage of forming a medieval khanate. Aliyev is facing a choice: either rejecting medieval obscurantism based on lies and hatred for the neighboring peoples and suicidal saber-rattling or Azerbaijan’s isolation and regress to the Dark Ages, to an inevitable political, psychological and humanitarian disaster,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said.

NEWS.am reminds readers that the Azerbaijani President staged one more anti-Armenian show at the funeral of the commandoes, whose bodies were handed over to Azerbaijan by Armenia under the Astrakhan agreements.
