HEAD OF ASSEMBLY OF AZERBAIJANI ARMENIANS: THE NAGORNO-KARABAKH REPUBLIC WILL NEVER BE A PART OF AZERBAIJAN

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will never be a part of Azerbaijan,
Head of the Assembly of Azerbaijani Armenians Grigory Ayvazyan said
at today’s press conference in Yerevan.
“Whatever Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev says, he realizes best of
all that in case of resumption of military actions against the NKR,
his army will suffer crushing defeat, and he himself will have to
recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic”, said Ayvazyan.
He added that official Baku has made the first step towards suspension
of the Karabakh peace process, trying to shift the responsibility for
its actions to Yerevan and Stepanakert. “Ramil Safarov’s pardoning
demonstrated to the international community that Azerbaijan is a
genocidal country with an “axe policy”, he said.
Ayvazyan does not rule out his participation in the forthcoming
presidential elections in Azerbaijan, as he considers it to be
his civil right. He added that he was going to take part in the
parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan as well, but the Central
Electoral Commission did not allow him, because the CEC was not sure
that it would be able to ensure an Armenian’s security.
