Azerbaijani MP says Armenia already realizes that it pursues wrong
policies.
"Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia has been engaged in
an aggressive and expansionist policy against Azerbaijan. Armenia has
occupied one-fifth of Azerbaijani territory, which led to severance of
diplomatic relations and closure of borders with another neighboring
country – Turkey, to which Armenia also has territorial claims.
Armenia experiences some difficulty also with Georgia, because Yerevan
tacitly claims to a part of a neighboring country," member of the
Azerbaijani Milli Majlis (Parliament) Musa Guluyev said.
"As a result, today Armenia has good relations with only one
neighboring state – Iran. Besides, Armenia has been out of energy and
transport corridors. Thus, the Armenian leadership pursues policy of
self-isolation," the deputy said.
"Azerbaijan was able to bring to the world community the truth about
the Karabakh conflict. As a result, policy of double standards is now
used less with regard to Azerbaijan. In addition, territorial claims
to Turkey, as well as efforts promote recognition of the "Armenian
genocide" made it impossible to establish diplomatic relations and
open borders with Turkey. Thanks to Armenia’s poliicies, the country
was not invited to Munich to attend a conference on security. This
is not surprising, since Yerevan has nothing to say in important
international events," the MP added.
"I think Armenia already realizes that it pursues a wrong policy
and sooner or later it will have to withdraw from Azerbaijan’s
lands by peaceful means since Armenia simply has no other choice,"
Guliyev noted.
