ArmInfo.MP Delyagin's remarks about the possibility of Russian strikes on oil fields in Baku in no way correspond to Moscow's line. This was stated in an interview with journalists by press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, when asked to assess the statements of Russian MP Mikhail Delyagin about possible Russian strikes on the oil infrastructure of Azerbaijan because of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"This statement in no way corresponds and cannot correspond to the official line of the Russian Federation. It is rather a statement that lies in the plane of personal emotions. We would urge to control these emotions and refrain from such statements, especially in relation to our partners. Azerbaijan belongs to the category of partner states, especially in conditions when Russia is making very energetic efforts to continue steps to maintain peace in the Karabakh region and to fulfill their obligations by the parties," Peskov said.
It should be noted that yesterday, Deputy Chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on Economic Policy Mikhail Delyagin, on the air of the 60 Minutes program on the Russia 24 channel, called for harsh and unequivocal punishment of Azerbaijan, or, as he called it, the "Turkish proxy", for its actions in Nagorno- Karabakh and insubordination to Russian peacekeepers.
"It is necessary to restore normal statehood throughout Ukraine and preferably as part of the Russian Federation. Without this, denazification will be impossible. And as for the threats that exist now, the Polish army has quite obviously moved closer to the borders of Belarus. It is very likely that not as part of NATO, but in as part of Poland, they will try to attack our ally," Delyagin says.
According to him, there is also a threat of attack from Baku, because the Azerbaijanis violated the truce in Artsakh. "Our [Russian Defense Ministry] said that they retreated after we warned them. But Baku officially stated that they did not leave the occupied territories anywhere. Therefore, this policy of aggression on the part of American satellites, in this case Turkey, or rather, Turkish proxies, as we call them, poses a real danger. This should be punished harshly and unambiguously. Why do we need the oil of the Azerbaijani industry? We do not need it, it is extremely vulnerable. If people do not understand words, they will probably have to understand deeds. If we don't do this, we'll cease to exist. The only question is this," the MP said.
This statement of the Russian MP caused hysteria in Baku.
