Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov is making
self-contradicting statements on Madrid Principles, ARFD member and
head of Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal
Affairs Hrayr Karapetyan told NEWS.am.

"I do not understand Mammadyarov’s stance, when hear him speaking of
referendum in Nagorno-Karabakh and meanwhile stating impossibility
of other solution to Karabakh conflict except for in territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan," MP stressed. "How can people be imposed a
decision through a referendum?" Karapetyan wonders.

According to him, by its statements and actions Baku seeks to defeat
the process and delude world community.

MP also commented on statement by Turkish Premier Erdogan, that if
needed Armenians will be deported from Turkey, which makes urgent
the recognition of Genocide by international community and Ankara
in particular. "The statement once again proves that there is an
Armenian Genocide threat in present Turkey, thus world community
should pressurize Ankara to recognize Genocide," he added.

Turkey carries out global blackmail policy that should be assessed by
Europe, U.S. and Russia accordingly, the politician deems. Referring
to the current situation, Karapetyan emphasized that Turkey found
itself in the mire and is caught in its own trap.
