UAR: Baku knowingly torpedo the peace talks over Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - Vice-president of the Union of Armenians of Russia Gegham Khalatyan commented on the statement by the Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu broadcasted by the Russian news service, in which he threatens to commit aggression against Armenia, naming it "enforcing Armenia to peace", the statement of the Union of Armenians of Russia says.



"First of all, I would like to speak of the absurdity of statements made by Mr. Bulbuloglu. Calling his country to commit aggression against Nagorno Karabakh, he speaks for some reason about enforcing Armenia to peace. I understand that this formula is now in fashion, but it is ridiculous to hear it from a man who calls for war during peace and speaks about peace enforcement. Elementary logic dictates that if Azerbaijan attacks, that country would need peace enforcement," Gegham Khalatyan said.



According to him, it is strange to hear such bellicose statements from a man who almost yesterday was part of a large delegation of Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian cultural workers, visited Nagorno Karabakh, Yerevan and Baku with so-called peace mission. Perhaps that is why such a popular diplomacy does not produce tangible results, since it is exercised by the people, who like Polad Bulbuloglu harbour a grudge. This is extreme disappointing".



"One last point on this issue. Unfortunately, Mr. Ambassador is not alone in expressing such a militant stance. Many other Azerbaijani officials, led by their president say virtually the same. In this regard, I should note that these aggressive statements, coupled with a hatred campaign towards the Armenian people, being cultivated all these years in Azerbaijan, rule out the atmosphere of trust and exclude constructive steps to normalize relations between the two peoples. In fact, they knowingly torpedo the peace talks over Karabakh ", Gegham Khalatyan said.
