Top oficcial: Armenian leadership unaware of being on wrong path
By Trend
The leadership of Armenia still doesn’t understand that it is on a completely wrong path, Novruz Mammadov, deputy head of Azerbaijani presidential administration, chief of the administration’s foreign relations department, told reporters in Baku May 5.
Mammadov further said that Armenia’s position is not constructive, it does its best to win time and maintain the status quo in the conflict.
Despite certain pressure by Azerbaijan and Russia, Armenia still doesn’t want to change its position, he said.
“Apparently, this meets the interests of the Armenian leadership, Sargsyan, Nalbandian. They just can’t understand that they are on a completely wrong path, and where it leads them. It’s time for them to think about it,” said Mammadov.
Russia along with the U.S. and France is a co-chair country of the OSCE Minsk Group established to broker a peace to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
For more than two decades Armenia and Azerbaijan are in a state of war following Yerevan’s aggression, ethnic cleansing policy and illegal territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia keeps under control over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions in a brutal war in the early 1990s.
Armenia still controls fifth part of Azerbaijan's territory and rejects implementing four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding districts.
