By Trend:

The Armenian people finally drove out Serzh Sargsyan, who forcibly changed the country's Constitution and became a prime minister, Azerbaijani MP Sadagat Valiyeva told Trend.

She made the remarks commenting on Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan's resignation on April 23 amid the continuing rallies in the country.

"The Armenian people were able to overthrow the criminal junta, due to which it has experienced unprecedented disasters over the past decade," she said.

Valiyeva said that Armenians got rid of the Karabakh clan, which kept them hostage for over 20 years, deprived them of participation in all regional and international projects and presented Armenia to the world as an aggressive state.

"The Armenian people, kicking out the main culprit of the Khojaly genocide, got a chance to form their power. If now the Armenian people manage to form a legitimate government, then Armenia will get out of the current situation. However, for this, Armenia, first of all, should refuse aggression, and show interest in regional cooperation," she said.

"Moreover, Sargsyan must stand before an international tribunal for the committed crimes," Valiyeva said, reminding that Sargsyan committed huge crimes both in regards of Azerbaijanis in the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenian citizens.

"Therefore, the Armenian people can demand his punishment in an international tribunal," she noted.

Mass rallies broke out in Yerevan and other Armenian cities on April 13 following former Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s nomination as prime minister. The opposition accused him of ineffective governance and worsening the economic situation in the country.

On April 23, Serzh Sargsyan resigned as prime minister.
