RA DM Mikael Haroutiunyan considers the recent statements of
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev as continuation of Azerbaijan’s
propagandistic policy, RA DM told journalists today. To recall, Ilham
Aliyev has threatened Armenia with war again and made some statements
about the alleged agreements on the Karabakh conflict settlement.
In M. Haroutiunyan’s opinion, if Azerbaijan was actually ready for
war, it would start that long ago. "They are well aware of the
potential of the Armed Forces of Armenia and NKR", the Minister said
and added that "if , nevertheless, the Azerbaijanis start that, they
will receive what they deserve". He recalled of the necessity of
mutual compromises. "If Azerbaijan refuses to make concessions, we
shall not compromise one-sidedly", RA DM emphasized. He said that
aggressive statements do not befit the president of Azerbaijan as a
country that negotiates on peaceful settlement of the Karabakh
conflict.
