"Armenia’s only aim is to distract attention of the world community
from the events ongoing inside the country, yet it has failed in it".

The due announcement was made by Novruz Mamedov, chief of department
of international ties under the President’s office.

He commented on the announcements of Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan made several days ago: "A few days ago Kocharyan said:
"Azerbaijan considers that we have supplied our armed forces to
Yerevan from Nagorno Karabakh".

This means that Kocharyan recognizes deployment of Armenian armed
forces in Nagorno Karabakh-the Azerbaijani territory. He has
recognized it carelessly. Moreover, the Armenian diaspora and people
already understand that Sarkisyan skillfully applies military
methods".

Novruz Mamedov noted that the separatist group, ruling Armenia, does
not take into account the interests of its country and the people:
"They try to control everything, including issues connected with the
state and the people and for many years they have coped with it. As
the policy carried out by this group has a militaristic spirit, the
carpet-baggers will often face such problems".

Mamedov said touching upon the processes ongoing in Armenia following
presidential elections: "These elections showed that emergency state
was declared and armed forces sent against the peaceful citizens to
supress unrest, which arose when one of the separatist leaders,
speaking about the nation, land and people, has left presidency and
another came to this post.

By their official information, 8 people died during the events in
Yerevan, which means that the said group ruling Armenia, does
everything possible to ensure its personal and conjuncture interests.
And now they want to prove their legitimacy".

Mamedov noted that the separatist group is currently concerned with
two major issues: "First is the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. They want to find cause to avoid it and mislead the world
community, co-chairs and international organizations.

For this purpose, Kocharyan has made a declaration on the need to
suspend talks, as presidential elections which will hinder the
negotiations are expected to be held in Azerbaijan. However, later he
understood the absurdity of the declaration. He has no right to speak
for Azerbaijan about our presidential elections. After that they
tried to hide political criciswithin the country and their crimes
against their own citizens".

At the same time, a representative of the President’s office
announced that the international community and international
organizations should toughen their position in this issue: "If such
events occurred in Armenia, the whole world would attack us. However,
no declarations regarding the events in Armenia, has been made
recently. The Armenian leadership attempts to distract world’s
attention from the internal situation.

Therefore, two days ago Armenians violated ceasefire and tried to
attack Azerbaijani positions. However, our armed forces reacted
quickly and now they hope to bring their false position to the world
by means of foreign Armenians and strong Diaspora to prove that they
are right.

But the world community is already informed about the truth. Armenian
Diaspora is also fed up of their actions. It is well aware that a
great part of country’s population is displeased with the policy of
these carpet-baggers and the events in Armenia prove their
dissatisfaction".
