Favorable conditions created for Azerbaijan ruler to get all he wants  - Vitaly Balasanyan 

ArmInfo.Very favorable conditions have been created for the person sitting at the helm of power in Azerbaijan in order to quickly get everything possible from this weak, incompetent leader of Armenia.

On June 10, on Baghramyan  Avenue near the parliament building, where protests are taking place,  the military-political figure of Artsakh, the hero of Artsakh, Major  General Vitaly Balasanyan, stated this in a conversation with  journalists, in response to a request to comment on Azerbaijan's new  demands on Armenia, including and regarding the fictitious genocide  in Khojaly (Ivanyan - Arm.).

The general recalled that over these 30 years, Azerbaijani propaganda  has not been able to find a single real argument that genocide was  committed in Khojaly, since nothing of the kind was committed there.

"This is a lie. There was no genocide. These statements have nothing  to do with reality. This issue has been repeatedly discussed with  international organizations that worked on the ground. They give  numbers of missing people that are far from reality. Azerbaijan is  speculating on this as a political topic , to get what they want from  the weak authorities of Armenia," noted Vitaly Balasanyan.

When asked whether he considers a positive step from the Armenian  side on this issue realistic, Balasanyan advised to address this  issue to Pashinyan himself. "Nikol has begun a process that has never  happened before on the planet. Nikol and Azerbaijan are carrying out  a certain process of delimitation and demarcation, which the world  has not seen in its entire existence. It does not correspond to any  international norm. This document on delimitation will be thrown away  tomorrow, no one will ratifies, they won't even listen or watch,"  Balasanyan expressed confidence. He again recalled that there are  certain standards for conducting such a process. Calling the  so-called Alma-Ata Declaration empty and false, Balasanyan noted that  this document cannot simply serve as the basis for the work that is  being carried out today for the simple reason that Azerbaijan does  not consider itself the legal successor of Soviet Azerbaijan.

Referring to the position of the authorities that the Artsakh  authorities surrendered Artsakh, Balasanyan said that if they have  grounds, then let them initiate criminal cases, otherwise they should  not speak without reason. He also called the criminal prosecution of  Artsakh residents by Armenian law enforcement agencies groundless,  noting that they have no legal basis for this.
