Day.Az reporter asked Azerbaijan's consul general in Los-Angeles Elin Suleymanov to comment on the situation on the contact front line.
"Unfortunately, attempts of Armenian powers to distract attention from the political crisis in Yerevan, were predictable. Azerbaijan did not want to interfere with Armenia's internal issues, despite provocations of Armenian authorities, who established voting stations on our territory and then arranged armed clash on the front line.
As is known, Armenians protested against results of the recent elections before Armenia's consulate general in Los-Angeles. This means that the diaspora is becoming aware of the lack of prospects of the approach of the Yerevan ruling regime. Armenian authorities, being aware of it and using a number of other methods, decided to arrange provocation on the front line, so that to retain powers in Yerevan. The Yerevan regime wants to make use of national hysteria to consolidate its shaky positions by applying censorship in Internet and intensifying propaganda.
The world sees the results of such a primitive policy. Yerevan easily commits bloodshed of its own and Azerbaijani soldiers, as well as protesters in Yerevan to attain its political goals, which reflects the threat of militarism, becoming a part of the Armenian policy.
I think Armenians should think over the future, the regime leads their country to, considering military crimes against the peaceful population of the neighbor countries to be its greatest achievement. The future of Armenia under the current development of events does not arise much optimism as well as the the fact that extremists are always ready to use force against its own people to attain political goals.
Certainly, international law gives Azerbaijan a right to protect its territory and population, while readiness of Azerbaijani army to react duly on any provocations is not doubted. However, in this case, the responsibility falls on the Armenian politics, who put the future of their country on stake to retain the power", Suleymanov said.
