Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 12
By Elchin Mehdiyev – Trend:
It is illogical and unreasonable to refer to the mass political show held Dec. 9 in Armenia as "election", Azerbaijani MP Hikmet Babaoglu told Trend.
"Despite that only about two million people live in Armenia, the Central Election Commission registers more than 2.5 million voters and draws up a fake electoral list," he said.
“This fact is enough to talk about the fictitiousness of the election held in that country,” he added. "In this case, one cannot seriously talk about any voter activity or inactivity. It was only necessary to finish the political comedy that has been played in Armenia from April 2018 and to give “legitimacy” to the leader of street democracy, and this was done."
He noted that the use of such words as “law” and “democracy” in relation to Armenia is considered an insult to law and democracy.
He said changing the military junta to the new aggressive dictatorship cannot be attributed to democracy.
“Armenians, by presenting this 'democracy' game, are trying to prove that there is 'a national consolidation' in the country and they have been able to build 'a democratic society',” he added. “Apparently, some international organizations and human rights organizations also intend to present this in such a form. But the falsifications at the election in Armenia have reached such a scale and are so indisputable that it is impossible to hide them.”
Babaoglu noted that under no circumstances the will of only 30 percent of the population can guarantee stability in the country.
“Therefore, the Armenian society is on the threshold of a serious social explosion,” he said.
“The second factor contributing to this is the lack of any reforms in economy in recent months.”
He added that Armenia simply doesn’t have economic resources that will ensure these reforms.
Babaoglu also said a new era in Armenia will come only when the country puts an end to the occupation policy and leaves the Azerbaijani lands.
“Economy is built on the basis of real resources and communications,” the MP noted. “Azerbaijan has the key to these resources and communications. Therefore, no matter how hard Pashinyan tries to gain recognition of his legitimacy, that won’t happen. After a short time, the population will take to the streets again with economic demands. Therefore, it would be good if the newly elected team thought about taking steps consistent with the common interests of their own and neighboring peoples. After all, Azerbaijan’s patience also has its limits.”
