Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry once again expresses dissatisfaction  with Armenia`s sovereign rights

ArmInfo.Today, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry issued a statement in which it has put forward the absurd accusations against Armenia for replenishing its weapons.  "Regarding the claim that the policy of mass armament is the sovereign right of Armenia,  let us note that it should be known to everyone why these steps taken by Armenia are illegitimate and pose a threat to Azerbaijan," said spokesman for this country Foreign Ministry, Aykhan Hajizada.

According to him, "The creation of the image of Armenia as a peaceful  country, which stopped as a result of the steps taken, is political  manipulation. "It would be better if the Armenian side, which refers  to the territorial integrity based on the borders of 1991 and the  Almaty declaration, should explain why it has not followed these  agreements for more than 30 years, why it refused to accept the  borders reflected in the Soviet maps, and why it occupied the  territories of Azerbaijan."

Apparently, Hajizada forgot that international law notes two more  equivalent principles - the right of nations to self-determination  and the non-use of force. And this was treacherously violated by  Azerbaijan itself, which in advance dissolved the national autonomy  fixed in the Soviet maps (NKAO),  to which the spokesperson refers,  and then carried out ethnic cleansing on the territory of this  autonomy, which failed due to resistance back in the early 1990s.

Moreover, Hajizada expressed dissatisfaction with France's policy: "  It is clear that countries like France, which supposedly support  peace and are competing in supplying Armenia with lethal offensive  weapons, contrary to Armenia's statements aimed at increasing its  defense capabilities, serve to turn Armenia into a new source of  tension and threats. Considering that this policy contributes to the  next possible aggression of Armenia, it is important to refrain from  these steps before it is too late", thereby threatening Armenia's  sovereign right to replenish its arsenals. The Azerbaijani Foreign  Ministry once again voiced the main condition for signing a peace  agreement with Yerevan: "the cessation of Armenia's territorial  claims against Azerbaijan, which are enshrined in numerous legal and  political documents of this country, in particular, in the  Constitution of Armenia, which directly refers to the Declaration of  Independence of Armenia, allegedly calling for the "unification of  Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh".
