Ruben Vardanyan haunts Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov does not hide the fact that Baku will continue to make efforts to disband the Artsakh Defense Army.

According to Azerbaijani media, during today's press conference,  Bayramov once again accused Armenia of being destructive and  torpedoing the negotiation process to normalize relations.

At the same time, he stressed that the Azerbaijani side will continue  efforts to withdraw the Armenian Armed Forces from Artsakh. At the  same time, he assured that Armenia has undertaken such an obligation.   Then he announced his readiness to ensure the rights of  Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians within Azerbaijan and assured that Baku is  open for dialogue on this matter. 

We note that, the people of Artsakh, who declared their  self-determination 30 years ago, have been feeling the real  Azerbaijani policy of ensuring the so-called rights for the third  week already, and understand very well what they should really expect  in case of such a development of the situation.

 "Certain steps are being taken in this direction, and they will be  continued. If someone deliberately interferes in this process a and a  person with a dirty reputation is brought into the region, then this  is a blow to normalization and dialogue. Azerbaijan is able to stop  all this," Bayramov said, hinting at the activities of Artsakh State  Minister Ruben Vardanyan. He also stated that at the beginning of  2023, Azerbaijan will file lawsuits against Armenia for allegedly  "damaging the environment and illegal exploitation of resources." It  is noteworthy that the representative of the state that used  phosphorus ammunition during the aggression against Artsakh in the  fall of 2020 is now talking about ecology. He also considered  unacceptable the proposal of the Russian side to postpone the issue  of the status of Artsakh until better times.  clothes blocked the  Stepanakert-Goris highway, again "for environmental reasons."  Armenian telegram channels have already identified employees of the  special services of Azerbaijan among the so-called ecologists. The  Azerbaijanis are behaving loosely, trying to provoke Russian  peacekeepers, and have set up a tent on the only road linking Artsakh  with Armenia. The road remains closed to this day. The so-called  Azerbaijani environmentalists, who were lit up in the photo with a  demonstration of the symbol of Turkish "Gray Wolves"  ultranationalists, said that they would remain on the road until the  head of the peacekeeping contingent, Andrei Volkov, arrived. In  addition, from the evening of December 13, Azerbaijan also shut off  the valve of the gas pipeline through which gas is supplied to the  population of Nagorno-Karabakh. The gas supply was restored three  days later. It is noteworthy that the Azerbaijanis, who blocked the  Stepanakert-Goris highway after environmental requirements, also  voiced political ones, namely the control and activities of the  Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service of  Azerbaijan throughout the territory of the Republic of Artsakh.  We  add that the first provocations by the so-called environmentalists  began on December 3 with the blocking of the Berdzor (Lachin)  corridor connecting Artsakh with Armenia. Over the past week, the  enemy side periodically undertook various kinds of provocations both  against the Russian peacekeepers in the NKR and against the civilian  population. And already on December 10, a group of Azerbaijanis tried  to get into two mines operating in the NKR, however, the Karabakh  people did not allow them to get into the mines.  We emphasize that  on December 25 a large rally was held in Stepanakert demanding to  unblock the road of life. According to some estimates, up to 70  thousand people attended the rally. In total, about 120 thousand  citizens live in the Republic.
