Armenian journalist: President Sargsyan - occupier

Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 9

Trend:

The Armenian leadership hampers the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Susan Jaghinyan, Armenian journalist and social activist, said in Baku Nov. 9.

"The Armenian people had their share of grief,” she said. “Only occupiers benefited as a result of the conflict.”

Jaghinyan stressed the need for resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, stressing that Armenia and Azerbaijan are suffering as a result of the conflict.

"The purpose of my visit to Baku is to contribute to the conflict settlement,” she said. “The whole nation is being destroyed. If the perpetrators of the conflict and those who are currently in power in Armenia remain unpunished, there will be no Armenian nation in 20 years."

Jaghinyan stressed that the Armenian government is inadequate.

"My visit to Baku is a slap in the face for the Armenian leadership," she said, by calling Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan occupier, who came to power through murders.

“President Sargsyan robs his people,” she said.

Jaghinyan added that after her publications appeared in the Azerbaijani media, President Sargsyan instructed his officials to declare the journalist dead.

"The only way for the Armenian leadership to solve the problem with such people as me is murder," she said.

"My property was withdrawn in Armenia,” she said. “I am not a citizen of Armenia. My passport has expired and there is no decision on its extension."

Together with the participants of the conference entitled "Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: main obstacles and prospects of settlement. Look from Armenia and Azerbaijan", recently held in Baku, Jaghinyan tried to contact Yerevan by Skype, but the Armenian authorities broke the connection.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
