ArmInfo. In Yerevan, they reacted to the statements of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the first meeting of the new convocation of the Milli Majlis. Thus, the press secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, Anna Naghdalyan, responding to Aliyev's remarks regarding Armenia, in particular, noted:
"The President of Azerbaijan made an extensive speech at the first meeting of the new parliament, which clearly expressed hatred of Armenia and the Armenian people. Azerbaijani authorities are trying hide the low level of legitimacy of the recent parliamentary elections, the inability to carry out political and democratic reforms behind aggressive, baseless and fictitious statements, which apart from Armenia and Armenia and retirement homes of the people, are also sent to European countries, European institutions, international observation missions, monitoring elections in Azerbaijan ".
At the same time, Naghdalyan expressed particular concern about the fact that the Azerbaijani authorities are trying to play the religious card in their baseless accusations, on the one hand accusing European countries of violating the rights of migrants on religious grounds, and on the other – voicing calls for religious solidarity in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict .
"The propaganda of a hostile attitude towards the Armenian people by the President of Azerbaijan, accompanied by new historical and geographical" discoveries, "fundamentally contradicts Azerbaijan's commitments in recent years to create favorable conditions and prepare peoples for peace. From this point of view, it must be noted that the low level of democracy and the protection of human rights seriously hinder the advancement of the peace process on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, in particular, the implementation of the agreements reached within the framework of this process. The attempts of the top leadership of Azerbaijan to legitimize themselves by spreading hatred towards the people of the neighboring state and distrust of the international community are irresponsible and can jeopardize peace and security in the region, "the Armenian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman summed up. Recall that Aliyev during his speech to the new parliament, referring to the Karabakh conflict, pointed out the importance of intensifying efforts in all organizations and conducting offensive diplomacy. "In connection with international activities, I want to say that our deputies are represented in several international organizations. Of course, activity there was quite high in previous years. And now it should be even higher, because we must bring the realities of Azerbaijan. Especially we must bring the historical the realities connected with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The Armenian side cannot put forward a single serious argument against our arguments, because the truth is on our side. After I said in Munich about Kurekchaysko I'm aware of a peace treaty in Armenia, I know that this treaty is being crammed in. It is clearly indicated who, when concluded this treaty. And there is no talk of the Armenian people there. On the one hand, Russian General Tsitsianov, and on the other, Ibrahim Khan, moreover, Ibrahim Khan <Karabakh Shushinsky> is written in Russian. Here's the real story, "Aliyev assured, while once again deciding to attribute all the historical territories of Armenia to Azerbaijan, which was created as a state in the early 20th century.
