"The international community has come to understand that resolution
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict demands much time. While Azerbaijan
had better understand that the choice is to be made between NKR’s
independence and its joining Armenia," Kiro Manoyan, director of the
Armenian Revolutionary Federation- Dashnaktsutyun Political Affairs
Office underlined, APA reports. Manoyan called for official Yerevan
to transfer Armenian population to the "liberation territories". He
ruled out any financial problem for transference of Armenians in the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Khazar Ibrahim commenting on
Manoyan’s remarks called this challenging.

"Dashnaktsutyun is represented in Armenian parliament. Regrettably,
such remarks sound like very dangerous fascism rather than civilized
policy of the corresponding forces. Manoyan’s calls for settling
in occupied Azerbaijani regions resemble the remarks of Gebbels
in Fascist Germany. He also used to call for settling in occupied
territories. Since a country pursues such a policy in the 21st century
and its is pursued by a political organization in the parliament,
Armenia seems to be insistent in the outlawed activity based on using
force," the spokesman underscored.
