Azerbaijani political expert: Serzh Sargsyan once again demonstrated his political illiteracy and ignorance

"Armenian President's statements about Yerevan's new concessions in talks with Azerbaijan are pure farce," Azerbaijani political expert Fikrat Sadigov said commenting on Armenian President's statement on possible withdrawal from some of Azerbaijan’s occupied territories in exchange for concessions on status of Nagorno-Karabakh.

"Worthy of note is that the Armenian President speaks about the occupied territories of Azerbaijan in the capture of which he was directly involved. It is obvious to everybody. Therefore, Azerbaijan does not need any compromises or concessions by Serzh Sargsyan. We just want to recover our territories," the expert said.

"Some powers understand the occupation of Azerbaijan’s lands, but, nevertheless, try to soften the situation by high-flown rhetoric about necessity of finding common ground between conflicting parties. But in this case it seems meaningless to get any concessions from Azerbaijan since Azerbaijan has already reached the "red line" of its concessions," the political expert said.

"The statements Sargsyan voiced in an interview with the Syrian media are nothing new. He had earlier uttered them. Such words are not surprising any more. Armenia tries to present the possible withdrawal from several Azerbaijani regions in exchange for self-determination of Nagorno-Karabakh as a concession to Baku. It arises a question: how many times the Armenians are going to determine their destinty? Present-day Armenia is, in fact, the territory once given them by Azerbaijan and Turkey. Now Armenia wants to deprive us of our lands once again. Based on Yerevan’s logic, Armenians in the U.S., France, Russia and Georgia can also determine their destiny in a similar way,” the expert added.

Commenting on Sargsyan statement that Azerbaijan is responsible for all difficulties in the Armenian-Turkish negotiations, the political analyst said Armenia President is right to a certain extent.

“But not in the context of Sargsyan’s words that Azerbaijan is a major obstacle to the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, but in the context that Ankara closed the border with Armenia is in response to Armenia’s capture of Azerbaijan’s territories. Therefore, Armenia itself is the main obstacle to improving relations between Ankara and Yerevan. So, Serzh Sargsyan has once again demonstrated his political illiteracy and ignorance," Sadigov said.
