'Armenia will be obliged to cease its aggressive policy'

Permanent Representative of Azerbaijan to the UN Agshin Mehdiyev has submitted a letter to the organization`s Secretary-General and the Security Council. The letter says during the months of October and November, 102 cases of violations of the ceasefire by the military forces of Armenia have occurred. As a result of these violations, five servicemen of the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan were killed and one civilian was wounded” noted Mehdiyev.

“According to the annexed information, during the reporting period, the armed forces of Armenia continued intensive fire on both the military and civilian objects in Azerbaijan, not only from their positions in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan but also from the territory of Armenia”.

Ambassador Mehdiyev also raised his concern over the information circulated by the Armenian side at the UN on a regular basis on the alleged violations of the ceasefire by the armed forces of Azerbaijan.

“Similar to all previous documents of the same nature and content, the most recent communications from the Permanent Representative of Armenia to addressed to the Secretary-General leave no doubt as to the deliberate attempts of the Government of Armenia to mislead the international community and to draw its attention away from the main problems caused by the continuing aggression of Armenia against Azerbaijan”, Mr. Mehdiyev mentioned adding, “indeed, the efforts of Armenia’s propaganda machine aimed at distorting the reality are a priori inappropriate, to say the least, against the background of the continuing illegal occupation by Armenia of the sovereign territory of Azerbaijan, its unconcealed annexationist intentions and apparent disrespect for the Charter of the UN and international law”.

“Additionally, the information on the alleged ceasefire violations annexed to the letters from the Permanent Representative of Armenia contains a number of apparent inaccuracies, factual mistakes and inconsistencies”, he emphasized arguing, for example, according to Armenia’s allegations, from 1 August to 30 November 2011, the armed forces of Azerbaijan violated ceasefire 4,825 times and used various types of weaponry. The Armenian militaries contrived even to count 460 shots allegedly fired in their direction from sniper weapons. However, against the background of the above-mentioned total number of imaginary violations and the claimed use of sniper weapons, the authors and compilers of such awkward fabrication did not give themselves the trouble of throwing light on the suspicious lack of casualties among the Armenian military personnel.

“Another example of unskillful falsification is definitely the unique “ability” of Armenian militaries to count from their positions in trenches the exact number of firearm bullets allegedly shot by the adverse side”, Mr. Mehdiyev noted, adding. “We are confident that the Government of the Republic of Armenia will be obliged to cease its aggressive and provocative policy, to put an end to the occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan and to respect international law”.
