Edward Sharmazanov: 'Black cat' is in Baku's bosom

Baku has been trying to find a black cat in a dark room, while this cat is in its bosom, vice-speaker of the Armenian parliament, Edward Sharmazanov, said when commenting on the statement of his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ziyafet Asgarov, that "the Armenian helicopter MI-24 came closer to the Azerbaijani military posts and gained an adequate reaction of the Azerbaijani party". 

He also added that there is no doubt that after the incident with the helicopter, Azerbaijan violated all the international law norms including the Geneva Convention, when keeping the site of the helicopter's falling under a permanent fire and not letting to take the bodies of the crew members. "Instead of making absurd statements, the high ranked representatives of Azerbaijan would better keep silent", - Sharmazanov said. 

To note, "A Mi-24 helicopter of the Armenian Armed Forces entered the battle outpost in the territory of Azerbaijan and of course, our soldiers gave an adequate response," first vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Ziyafet Asgarov told journalists, APA reports. According to him, the resolution 853 of the UN Security Council demands the immediate withdrawal of Armenian troops from "occupied "Aghdam region. "A number of international organizations raise a fuss under the influence of Armenians. However, they forget that the helicopter was downed in the territory of Aghdam. International law recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Co-chair countries Russia, the US and France have already recognized Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. In this case, why don’t these countries ask Armenia what it is doing in the lands of other country? Why don’t ask Armenia why its helicopter flies over the territory of Aghdam?" he said.  Asgarov added that OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs should not demand explanation from Azerbaijan but  Armenia for the downed helicopter.
