Spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, Hikmet Hajiyev, has issued a statement in response to Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan calling Azerbaijan a “terrorist state”, APA reports.
Hajiyev said the statement of the Armenian Foreign Ministry official indicates Yerevan’s foreign policy lacks any sound logic, base and proof.
Hajiyev reminded Kocharyan that with a medieval feudal mentality,
Armenia has invaded territories of a neighboring country – the Republic of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani people have suffered ethnic cleansing in territories of Armenia and the occupied lands.
“The Republic of Armenia is the only OSCE member state that has invaded territories of another OSCE member state by use of force and aggression, completely contravening the Helsinki Final Act (1975).Such an action runs contrary to the UN Charter and the rules of civilized behavior among states. The recent tension arisen on the front-line once again proves the continuation of Armenia’s occupation and aggression against Azerbaijan. In this case, Armenia has threatened by using force.
The foreign ministry spokesman said Armenia has already been proved to be a terror-supporting state through investigative-operational way.
“It is enough to recall ASALA terrorist organization, as well as Arabo and Aramo terrorist groups, integrated into the Armenian special forces. Armenia’s aggressive policy poses a threat to the stability and security of the region. According to the UN Charter and international law, Armenia is fully responsible for its acts of occupation and aggression,” he added.
