Speaker: Azerbaijani President`s speech was more aimed at internal  audience

ArmInfo. President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, by his yesterday's  statement once again  demonstrated his aggressiveness towards Armenia and the Armenian people. President  of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Alen Simonyan announced this to journalists on April 19.

He stressed that with this statement, Aliyev showed the international  community his method of working on the negotiation process, which is  quite typical for him, taking into account the form of governance of  an unfree country.In almost all negotiating platforms, a different  reality is noticeable. "I have a negative attitude towards such  statements, and I think that they were more aimed at an internal  audience," the Speaker said, adding that one should not look for any  conclusions from the fact that the speech of the Prime Minister of  the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan in the RA National Assembly  and Ilham Aliyev's speech coincided in time.

As for the penetration of the Azerbaijani army into the territory of  Armenia, the speaker believes that this fact should not be taken as a  failure in ensuring the country's security. There have been many  cases when Armenian citizens accidentally crossed the border of  Azerbaijani territory and were not found immediately.  "I do not  think that this fact should be a measure of the quality of our  country's security system. There is no need to draw parallels, but we  should be careful from such incidents>, Simonyan noted.  He again  repeated the version of the authorities that the Azerbaijani  servicemen  were deserters who tried to cross from Nakhichevan to  Azerbaijan. To the remark that Baku demanded their return, Simonyan  replied that the Armenian side had been "demanding the return of our  POWs" for a long time. <Legal assessments must be given. But  personally, I demand that Azerbaijan return 33 Armenian POWs, and I  do this on all international platforms," the Speaker stressed. As for  the continued stay of the ruling force in power, as the NA President  stressed, if the people say that they do not accept its visions, it  will leave.
