Azerbaijani FM : 'Armenian President's statement is nothing more than faux populism'

Statement of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan is nothing more than faux populism, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev told Trend on Wednesday, while commenting on the speech of Sargsyan at a meeting with the voters of Kotayk province.

"To justify his prolonged failures by meaningless statements became a habit of the Armenian President," Abdullayev said.

He said that, apparently, President Sargsyan has no courage to declare openly to the Armenian people that it's he and other representatives of the Armenian leadership who are truly responsible for troubles of his people.

"President Sargsyan does not want to talk that because of his selfish goals or goals of those whom he represents, Armenia is in economic stagnation. It's hard to admit that, when the country is in crisis, the Armenian authorities aggravate the situation by continuing aggressive policy, which resulted in total bloody ethnic cleansing against the people, who for centuries lived in these lands," Abdullayev said.

He said the main question to the leadership of Armenia, which is difficult to get an adequate answer to is as follows: What did president Sargsyan and other representatives of the authorities need in these strange lands and how can he be justified, if we talk about the genocide victims and about one million refugees as a result of their bloody policy?
