Holding int’l events in Azerbaijan fuels Baku’s aggression: KarabakhMay 27, 2016 - 13:33 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The fact of organizing international events in Azerbaijan is disgraceful, a spokesperson for the Nagorno Karabakh President said Friday, May 27, Tert.am reports. “We have repeatedly stated that by pursuing such a policy, the international community and a number of civilized states in fact encourage aggression,” Davit Babayan said. “For a state like Azerbaijan – that shuts the RFE/RL and OSCE offices, heroizes the murderer who killed a sleeping Armenian officer with an axe, honors people that disfigure dead bodies and behead elderly people – hosting the European Games, Global Forum of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations is nothing but disgrace.” “Azerbaijan shows restraint during the events; yet, curbing Baku’s aggression requires tremendous efforts afterwards,” Babayan added. “Those supporting terrorists will some day become their victims.” Also, Babayan said, the situation on the contact line remains relatively calm.
