Azerbaijan's attacks against Ruben Vardanyan should be considered against Russia - Davit Babayan |24news.am|

Azerbaijan's attacks against Ruben Vardanyan should be considered against Russia. Aliyev's words do not correspond to reality, because one of the most important directions of their state policy is to attack Russia. Of course, they don't say anything at the state level, but they started a big anti-Russian campaign through individual figures and analysts. Artsakh Minister of Foreign Affairs Davit Babayan said this, referring to the statement of the President of Azerbaijan that he is ready to talk with Armenians living in Nagorno-Karabakh, but not with people like Ruben Vardanyan, he was sent with a very clear agenda.

According to Babayan, there is no secret agenda with the Russian Federation, and it is in favor of regulating the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, at the same time understanding that the Artsakh issue is difficult to solve now, it should be left to the future, and Azerbaijan is also trying to take advantage of the opportunity. 

Referring to Aliyev's statement that it is unacceptable for Baku to mention the rights and security of the NK people in the peace agreement, Davit Babayan noted that Aliyev can say a lot if RA accepts what they say, then Armenians will cease to exist and there's a need to fundamentally protect local interest interests.

"The Armenian government should do everything to make a reservation in the agreement regarding the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, Artsakh was not and will not be a part of Azerbaijan," said Babayan.

It should be reminded that on November 17, Ilham Aliyev announced: "I think it is important that Armenia clearly declares what it really wants. If they want to talk about the rights and security of Armenians in Karabakh, it will not work. We are ready to talk about this with the Karabakh Armenians, but not with the likes of Vardanyan sent by Moscow [Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan-ed.], who have billions of money stolen from the Russian people in their pockets.

He was sent from Moscow to Karabakh with a very clear agenda. We are ready to talk with people living in Karabakh and those who want to live there. By the way, this process has started. If there was no intervention from some of the countries just mentioned, that is, from outside, and if there were no attempts to stop the process, then I think the process could have been more dynamic."

Aliyev also stated that Armenia wants to include the issues related to "Armenians living in Azerbaijan" in the peace agreement. "It won't happen. It is impossible. We will not agree to this. Therefore, we need a very clear position of the Armenian government regarding its agenda. I recently said that if they want peace, we want peace too. If they don't want peace, that's their choice. We have not had peace for thirty years, and Armenia should not forget how it ended," said the President of Azerbaijan.
