18:20 / 03/13/2010 Political analyst Ilgar Mammadov commented on OSCE
MG Co-Chair Bernard Fassier’s statement made at March 12 NATO PA
Rose-Roth seminar in Yerevan. The Co-chair said that in case of war
Azerbaijan cannot win, as is well-aware of Karabakhi people’s
courageous warriors.

`Indeed, Bernard Fassier said that Karabakhi courageous soldiers will
not allow Azerbaijan to win the war. He spoke French, whereas
participants of the seminar and I were having the English translation’
he stated. `It is a pity that one of OSCE MG Co-Chairs assumed duties
of RA Defense Minister raising spirit of Armenian soldiers instead of
performing his ones,’ Mammadov added.

Fassier’s statement deeply offended Azerbaijan and even the country’s
foreign office repeatedly threatened that will give an official reply
if it turns out that Co-chair said so.

“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
