The concerns of Armenia on the development of Azerbaijan is clear, politician Aydin Mirzazade, member of the Political Council of ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP), Deputy Chairman of the Commission of Milli Majlis [Azerbaijani Parliament] for Defense and Security, told Trend, commenting on the statement made by Armenian President Robert Kocharyan on 18 September in the Republic Forum Armenia-Diaspora.
It should be mentioned that the President of Armenia stated that the heroic fight of Artsakh and the negotiation process is part of the 15-year independence of Armenia. Touching upon the statement regarding the war from the Azerbaijani side, he noted that he does not consider the comment warrants a reply because the victory in the war was achieved due to the battle spirit of people.
Mirzazade stressed that the Armenian President tries to hold parallel measures in response to the steps of the Azerbaijani President. Recently he conducted meetings with Armenian Ambassadors abroad. In parallel with the Congress of World Azerbaijanis, a congress of Armenian diaspora was held last year. Probably in the future, they will try to repeat the steps of our President. But I do not think that they will be able to achieve it. This is because the potential of our President and Kocharyan are different. Azerbaijan is eager to restore its territorial integrity, but Armenia wants to connect itself to the land of neighboring countries, Mizazade stressed.
The Politician emphasized that Armenian officials have increased their public-speaking in this regard. But irrespective of their foreign optimism, the social-economic development of Azerbaijan is of great concern for them. The statements of high battle spirit of the Armenian army are mere words. If Armenian soldiers have occupied the territory of Azerbaijan, then the Azerbaijani soldier will release his lands. It is clear that in this relation, the patriotism and battle spirit of Azerbaijan soldier are high enough, he underlined.
Mirzazade stressed that over the recent period, Armenia tries to avoid the negotiations. The politician added that the international community has begun to take an objective position regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Today the leading European countries require to withdraw Armenian forces from occupied Azerbaijani territories. Today the development of Azerbaijan and the policy of the Azerbaijan President will lead to primary goals, the restoration of territorial integrity, and it will happen soon, Mirzazade pointed out.
In addition, Mirzazade stressed that the internal and foreign policy pursued by Azerbaijan is true. In this respect, Armenia cannot keep pace with Baku. The concerns of Armenia on the development of Azerbaijan is clear. Because today Armenia does not possess the previous military capacity and support in international areas, the sensible Armenian citizen does not want to face death by defending the policy of the Armenian President, he underlined.
