FM REPRESENTATIVE: ARMENIAN MILITARY DOCTRINE PROVES OCCUPATION OF AZERBAIJANI TERRITORIES

Armenia proves occupation of Azerbaijani territories with military
doctrine it will adopt, Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Khazar
Ibrahim commented on the clause "Armenia is the guarantee of security
of Nagorno Karabakh Republic" in military doctrine of Armenia to be
presented to Armenian President Robert Kocharyan in December, 2007,
APA reports.

Armenian Defense Minister Michael Arutunyan said that such clause is
reflected in the doctrine.

Khazar Ibrahim stated that Armenia exposes itself with this clause
reflected in the military doctrine.

"This shows that though Armenia tries to deceive international
community and states insistently that it did not occupy Azerbaijani
territories, it is not true. Sometimes statements of Yerevan senior
officials often sound such opinions, as if Armenia did not carry out
any aggression, there are no Armenian invaders in occupied territories,
and soldiers of Armenian Army did not serve in occupied Azerbaijani
territories. But doctrine project destructs such propagation of
Armenia and shows that Armenia is occupier and pursues aggressive
policy. This policy of Armenia impedes seriously peaceful solution
of the conflict," he said.

Khazar Ibrahim stated that Armenia should refrain from this policy
in a short time.

"On contrary negotiations will not give any result soon.

International community and co-chairs should pay attention to such
momentums, as well as clause on Nagorno Karabakh in military doctrine
of Armenia," he said.
