Unfortunately, the new leadership of Armenia, including, the new
Foreign Minister, have not yet rejected old stereotypes and repeat
old mistakes.
The due announcement was made by spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry Khazar Ibrahim commenting on the visit of new Foreign
Minister Eduard Nalbandyan to the occupied lands of Azerbaijan and the
announcements regarding the conflict resolution in Nagorno Karabakh
by way of national census.
"Armenian leadership should realize that there is no place for the
fourth country in the South Caucasus", said Ibrahim.
He noted that the status of Nagorno Karabakh may be defined only in
the framework of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
Ibrahim noted that it should be better for the Armenian authorities
to tell the truth to their citizens rather than misleading them.
"Moreover, the Foreign Minister made statements regarding military
expenses of Azerbaijan. Yet we should say that Azerbaijan has not asked
anyone to interfere with its internal affairs. The Armenian authorities
should better mind its own business, in particular, withdraw its
occupation forces from the Azerbaijani lands. Otherwise, diplomatic
ways of the conflict settlement will be exhausted", said Ibrahim.
At the same time, the spokesman noted that if the analysis of military
expenses is held as compared to per capita GDP in the two countries,
it would be revealed that Armenia is more militarized.
