“Unlike Azerbaijan, Armenia has chosen the path of democracy,
not xenophobia”, said Edward Sharmazanov, Vice Speaker of Armenian
Parliament, who represented the ruling Republican Party of Armenia at
the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly’s forum in St. Petersburg. The
forum was dedicated to prevention of human rights violation and
cyber crimes.
Sharmazanov said that the militarist rhetoric of Azerbaijan is
intensifying with every passing day, whereas Armenia is preparing
its people for peace. When commenting on the Azerbaijani president’s
statement made several months ago that the Armenians worldwide
were Azerbaijan’s enemies No.1, Sharmazanov said that such racist
and anti-human statements intensify the anti-Armenian hysteria
in Azerbaijan. Sharmazanov added that the latest evidence of this
hysteria was the Azerbaijani authorities’ pardoning of Ramil Safarov,
who killed the sleeping Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan with an axe.
