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.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
