Azerbaijani MP: Armenia not to give up territorial claims against Turkey

Azerbaijan, Baku, 21 Feb. / Trend, E. Mehtiev /

Even if Turkey pays more attention to Armenia, the latter will not give up its territorial claims and the issue of the so-called "genocide." This was told Trend by MP Fazail Aghamali, commenting on congratulations from Turkish President to Serzh Sargsyan at the occasion of his re-election.

According to Aghamali, Armenia is a terrorist state that does not recognize Turkey and has constant territorial claims against the country.

"So, I think Turkey should respond adequately. This step will not gain Turkey positive assessment by the global community. Turkey can be sure of it," Aghamali said.

According to him, congratulating Serzh Sargsyan was a very hasty step.

"First, the facts show that presidential elections in Armenia were rigged, at the same time, the candidates staged attacks against each other. I do not understand the rationale behind such a hasty congratulation to the head of a terrorist state; my attitude towards this issue is negative," Aghamali said.

According to him, this move will not damage relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan.

"I would not want the Armenian factor to negatively impact relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan, as we have already experienced turbulence during the signing of the Zurich protocols. However, those talks yielded no results because Armenia's intentions are different, and it has not given up its territorial claims against Turkey. Thus, I would not want any tensions in our relations with Turkey. Such issues are not in the national interest of either Azerbaijan, or Turkey ", Aghamali said.
