Baku seeks to involve Muslim Brotherhood in new Karabakh war?

PanARMENIAN.Net - Despite almost every country’s trying to interfere with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Muslim Brotherhood’s joining their ranks, however, came as a surprise.

Kuwaiti Muslim Brotherhood leader Tareq Al-Suwaidan was quoted by Azeri media as saying, “international community must pressure Armenia into abandoning its expansionist policy. Should peace talks prove ineffective, Azerbaijan has every right to liberate the occupied territories by using every means possible.”

Al-Suwaidan, however, noted to be expressing Muslim Brotherhood’s, rather than Kuwaiti stance. He further went on to speak out against terror and express support for Palestinian people.

Azeri agitation and propaganda department seems to be faring increasingly worse, repeating the same absurdities day after day. The representative of Muslim Brotherhood group, the activities of which were banned in Egypt, clearly has a vague idea of the South Caucasus' geographic location. But then – he was asked to make a statement, and he did. Next he'll be asked to fight against the Armenian army, and he will: killing the "unfaithful" seems like a perfect job for Islamic terrorists. That's what already had happened in the Karabakh war – Chechen militants led by Islamist Shamil Basayev and his father fought on Azeri side. Everyone is well aware how that ended.

To give a full scope of the events of the day, one should cite Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov's remark, which, like the previous one shows no originality or freshness of thought.

"Azerbaijan welcomes the international community's support in fulfillment of the UN Security Council resolutions on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement," the official said at a democratic forum in Indonesia.

Interestingly enough, Mammadyarov mentioned the resolutions at meetings with his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian. Other solutions were also offered, with the issue for the last 25 years remaining a purely Azerbaijani one. The people of Karabakh have already made their choice and any infringement on their country's sovereignty will be viewed as aggression.
