Khazar Ibragim: "Absence of control over Nagorno Karabakh by
Azerbaijan creates favorable conditions for PKK terrorists"

16 February 2008 [11:33] – Today.Az

The information about PKK terrorists’ intention to settle in the
occupied lands of Azerbaijan proves official Baku’s concerns over the
use of these uncontrolled lands by international terrorists for
dislocation and preparation of various operations.

The due announcement was made by Khazar Ibragim, spokesman for
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry.

He reminded Azerbaijan’s repeated announcements that Armenia with its
historical traditions of terrorism, used to suppress internal and
external enemies, can become a good protection for international
terrorists, willing to hide in the Azerbaijani territories occupied
by this country.

"We should do everything possible for the world community to become
aware of the threat posed by the fact that Azerbaijan does not
control the territory of our country, occupied by Armenia, as to the
development of international terrorism. In particular, this issue has
been discussed during the recent visit of one of the senior
representatives of the US Department of State to Baku. We intend to
continue informing the world community of the truth and of the
terrible consequences and spread of international terrorism due to
the unsettled Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Karabakh,
which results in Armenia’s control over these territories."

He does not exclude that movement of PKK terrorists to Nagorno
Karabakh would be impossible without agreement of Armenia’s
government.

"The Azerbaijani lands have been occupied by a country, led by a
person, who stated the genetic incompatibility of Azerbaijanis and
Armenians and took part in the genocide of Azerbaijanis in Khojali.

He said commenting on Armenia’s recent announcement according to
which there are no terrorist bases in Nagorno Karabakh that the
development of events in the region and frequent receipt of
information about the presence of PKK bases on the Azerbaijan’s
occupied lands, evidence that Armenia’s external policy is based on
lies and falsifications.

"Thus, Armenia is playing a game, which will lead to its defeat, as
the rules of this game are well known: it is impossible to tell lie,
ignoring numerous proofs of the falseness and injustice of the
position, this country adheres to. The sooner will the working
leadership of Armenia recognize the falseness of the position it
occupied, the sooner will the threat of terrorism be lifted from our
region and the sooner will it lead to peace", he concluded.
