Stepanakert: Aliyev`s latest statements regarding the Karabakh  settlement demonstrate the degree of confusion of the Azerbaijani  authorities

ArmInfo.The Artsakh Foreign Ministry reacted to the attacks of Azerbaijani President  Ilham Aliyev towards Yerevan and Stepanakert during a speech at the  opening of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly. ArmInfo was  informed about this by the press service of the NKR Foreign Ministry.

"The President of Azerbaijan, speaking in video format at the 75th  session of the UN General Assembly, once again reproduced the  repeatedly refuted conjectures of the Azerbaijani side regarding the  Azerbaijan- Karabakh conflict. at the Absheron field.

The statements of the President of Azerbaijan regarding the process  of the settlement of the Azerbaijan- Karabakh conflict, voiced during  the interview, demonstrate the degree of confusion of the Azerbaijani  authorities in the conditions when the long-standing strategy of  Baku, based on blackmail and threats, has proved its failure and has  completely exhausted itself, " - are convinced of Stepanakert.

At the same time, the Artsakh Foreign Ministry stated that the  long-term practice of the Azerbaijani authorities in distorting the  essence of the Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict, preventing the  restoration of full- format negotiations, biased interpretation of  international law in order to justify their territorial claims  against the Republic of Artsakh and the Republic of Armenia and  ascribing to themselves the imaginary right to unleash a new  aggression brought the conflict settlement process into the situation  in which it is now, without bringing any additional political  dividends to official Baku.

"The policy announced by the President of Azerbaijan to isolate  Armenia and Artsakh and impede the economic growth of the two  Armenian states, as well as attempts to exploit the religious theme  in the context of the Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict, turned out to be  just as ineffective.

It is obvious that, having lost its main tool, which boiled down to  striving to achieve unilateral concessions through threats and  forceful pressure, official Baku found itself outside its comfort  zone and is trying to return to its usual situation, increasing the  intensity of militant rhetoric directed against not only the Armenian  parties. but also the settlement process as a whole, "the NKR MFA  noted.

At the same time, the Foreign Ministry added that if the Baku  authorities are really interested in achieving long-term peace in the  region, they should abandon the policy of military blackmail and  threats, recognize the fact that the people of Artsakh have realized  the right to self-determination and sit down at the negotiating table  in order to find solutions to the issue. elimination of the  consequences of the armed conflict unleashed by Azerbaijan itself.

Note that the President of Azerbaijan on September 19, in a  conversation with representatives of the leading Azerbaijani media,  attacked Yerevan with criticism. Aliyev accused Yerevan of stalling  the negotiation process on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh  conflict. "The Prime Minister of Armenia sets before us 7 conditions.  First, who are you to speak with us in the language of conditions. If  we want to speak with him in the language of conditions, then his  political life will not be long. I said that we reject these absurd  conditions. But we have one condition: they must completely and  unconditionally leave our lands, as reflected in the resolutions of  the UN Security Council, "Aliyev Jr. said. The Azerbaijani leader did  not stop there, "accusing Armenia of initiating a provocation on the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border in July this year." However, he did not  stop there, adding that a high-ranking official of one of the Minsk  Group co-chairing countries had already openly announced this.

"I said then, and I say today: we have no military targets on the  territory of Armenia, if we wanted to, we could go to the territory  of Armenia, we had all the military capabilities for this. But we did  not do it, because in our military - there is no political concept of  this, if a serious provocation is not committed against us. If it is  done, then there will be no restrictions for us, let everyone know  this. No restrictions. If they ignore international law, then why  should we observe it, we too we will ignore it, but it will all end  badly for them, "he summed up.
