ArmInfo.While Azerbaijan calls the current territory of Armenia "Western Azerbaijan" at the highest level and puts forward new ambitions, the RA MFA does not even make a statement on the 33rd anniversary of the Armenian pogroms in Baku. Former MP, expert in Azerbaijani studies Tatevik Hayrapetyan wrote.
In this regard, she reminded that last year official Yerevan made a statement about the massacres in Baku.. "If it seems to our authorities that they will prevent the escalation by keeping silent and "not offending" Baku, then they do not understand anything in the politics of Azerbaijan. Escalation is prevented by training on the ground, by increasing the combat capability of the army, and by developing resistance in society. In short, being ready for war so that the opponent knows that his aggression will not go unanswered. And, ignoring our own history, keeping silent about it and renouncing vital rights, we will only play out the appetites of Baku, helping to fill the field with new historical falsifications and casting doubt on the issue of Armenian statehood," she said.
In conclusion, she advised the representatives of the current Armenian authorities to read Aliyev's speeches from time to time in order to have an idea of what the opponent is thinking.
It should be noted that the Armenian authorities this year did not make any statements on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the Armenian pogroms in Baku.
