YEREVAN. – Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev’s anti-Armenian remarks,
at the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly session in Baku, had such
unacceptable accentuations that it left a very bad impression on
Euronest’s European MPs, head of Armenia’s delegation at Euronest and
opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party’s National Assembly (NA) Faction
leader Vahan Hovhannisyan stated during a press conference on Thursday.

“Some Azerbaijani MPs even apologized for their president,”
Hovhannisyan noted.

According to him, the Armenian delegation gave the appropriate response
to Azerbaijan’s president. Hovhannisyan also considered it correct
that Armenia’s delegation attended the Euronest session in Baku.

In his words, however, they were virtually deprived of the opportunity
to get together with the Azerbaijani media, but Vahan Hovhannisyan
added that he did have an interview with Xazar TV.

Incidentally, the ARF MP informed that he had come across a positive
demeanor among ordinary Azerbaijanis.

“We saw no aggressive conduct. Apparently, there is a man in that
country who sows seeds of hatred. I did not see among the Azerbaijani
people a desire to die in war,” Vahan Hovhannisyan noted.

In her turn, the Armenian delegation member and the ruling coalition’s
Prosperous Armenia Party MP Naira Zohrabyan stated that the Azerbaijani
people are hostages in the hands of Aliyev. She also pointed to
European MPs’ uncourageous attitude, as they were condemning Aliyev’s
remarks solely during private conversations, but they did not attempt
to utter a word from the rostrum.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
