ArmInfo.Stepanakert advised the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to refrain from assessing the democratic processes in other states.

"When the leader of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev talks about democratic  processes in other states, and even more criticizes them, at best it  should be treated with humor, at worst do not pay attention to the  nonsense leader of an authoritarian state. Aliyev has neither the  moral nor the legal right to talk about democratic processes. About  democracy says the country's leader, who turned his own state into a  khanate, privatized the country and completely subordinated to the  Aliyev clan. Fat point in this whole story was the appointment of  Vice President of the country his wife Mehriban Aliyeva. The entire  international community laughs at the actions of Aliyev. As they say,  their son will be the second vice-president, and it remains only to  appoint another mother-in-law on the advice of Kazakhstan, this will  be the culmination of their disgrace," said the spokesman of NKR  President David Babayan in a conversation with ArmInfo correspondent.

Referring to Aliyev's statement that the extradition and further  imprisonment of blogger Alexander Lapshin for visiting  Nagorno-Karabakh was an instructive lesson for others, the official  representative of the NKR leader expressed his conviction that this  is the result of inaction by the international community. According  to him, thus, Aliyev challenges the international community. Babayan  believes that if the international community, especially the European  structures, would give an adequate assessment and condemn these  actions of Baku, Aliyev would not dare to make such cynical  statements today. "I also want to note that the participation in the  constitutional referendum of international observers from three dozen  countries, a vivid example of the fact that Aliyev will not be able  to intimidate people. Well, let persecution of scientists, European  parliamentarians, journalists begin. So they only once again  compromise themselves. At the same time, I believe that the  international community should give an appropriate assessment to such  actions of Baku, as it is a slap in the first place to them," resumed  Babayan.

To note, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, stated during the  speech to the Cabinet: "In the first quarter of this year, the focus  was also on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The OSCE  Minsk Group co-chair countries several times stated that the "status  quo" is unacceptable. The Minsk Group should increase pressure on  Armenia. The UN Security Council adopted 4 resolutions on the  conflict. These resolutions must be implemented unconditionally.  Despite all attempts by Armenia, its unconstructive and insincere  policy turned into an object of condemnation. Azerbaijan is getting  stronger every day, and I am sure that this issue will sooner or  later be fairly resolved. Having conducted an illegal referendum in  Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia once again disgraced itself. Its neighbors,  the countries members of the MG, the European Union and other  countries, immediately condemned this referendum.  They said that  they did not recognize it. The international community, not  recognizing this referendum, demonstrated support for the territorial  integrity of Azerbaijan. Another successful moment is the extradition  of a citizen of a foreign country to Azerbaijan who illegally  traveled to Nagorno-Karabakh.  This was a lesson to someone who  rudely violated our laws, as well as to him similar."
