STEPANAKERT. - The mere fact of existence of Aliyev dynasty in Azerbaijan, recurrent and systematic violations of national minorities, racism, Armenophobia, xenophobia, all this indicates that the concepts of tolerance and democracy are not applicable to Azerbaijan, said press secretary of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) President David Babayan to a press conference.

“If the high rank officials call to get rid of their colleagues who do not have Turkic roots, how can we speak about democracy or European values?” asked Babayan.

According to him, the various statements of official Baku, where it is trying to present itself as a democratic state, should not be confused with reality.

"The real picture is formed through actions rather than words,’’ he said, adding that neighboring Iran, being an Islamic state itself, also sees the dangers of its policies. "I am not talking about the fact that official Baku always has some absurd territorial claims to Armenia."
