ArmInfo. The statement of Ilkhm Aliyev that the people of Karabakh does not once again testify to the fact that, unlike the Armenian side Azerbaijan is pursuing an unconstructive policy and, in fact, does not want a peaceful settlement of the Artsakh conflict. This was announced on October 4 in an interview with reporters by the head of the Permanent Parliamentary Commission on Foreign Relations, Ruben Rubinyan.
He noted that the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan noted that the Karabakh conflict can be resolved exclusively by peaceful means, and if we want to achieve this, it is necessary that the people of Armenia, the people of Artsakh and the people of Azerbaijan come to an agreement on this decision. "Pashinyan assumed that the other side would take this initiative, as any decision is impossible without the consent of the parties. And Aliyev's response shows that he does not accept this formula, therefore, does not want a peaceful solution to the conflict. I think that international partners will fix this fact and draw the appropriate conclusions, " the MP said.
When asked what the answer of Armenia will be, Rubinyan said that the response would be the constant advancement of the Armenian position, actions in the logic of peace, the constant strengthening of the army and the defense sector.
To the remark of the journalists that the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the statement of Prime Minister Pashinyan "Artsakh is Armenia and there is no alternative" does not contribute to creating an appropriate environmentfor restoring the political process, the head of the Foreign Relations Commission noted: "Yerevan sees the negotiation process in the logic presented by the head of the Cabinet of Ministers of Armenia from the UN rostrum. "
It should be noted that the plenary session of the meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said that "Karabakh is Azerbaijan." Aliyev conducted a historical discourse on the ownership of Artsakh, again reminded of internally displaced persons, supposedly the destruction of the cultural values of Azerbaijan in the NKR, and on the failure to comply with UN Security Council resolutions. He also noted: "The resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be within the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, adopted by the whole world of the UN Charter, resolutions of the UN Security Council and the Helsinki Final Act. I must say that recently the Prime Minister of Armenia often says that the solution to the conflict should be acceptable for the people of Azerbaijan, the people of Armenia and the "people" of Nagorno-Karabakh. So, I must say that the concept of "people of Nagorno-Karabakh" does not exist. . There is a population of Nagorno-Karabakh, which before the conflict consisted of Azerbaijani and Armenian populations with equal rights, "Aliyev said.
As for which solution is acceptable for Azerbaijan, Aliyev continued, it consists in "restoring the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan", recognized by the whole world, returning refugees and internally displaced persons to their "ancestral lands, including in Nagorno-Karabakh." Then, Aliyev accused Armenia of military aggression.
