Khazar Ibragim: "Why did "the developing" Armenia hand all its enterprises to Russia? Though what can we expect from a country, which is contemptuously called an outpost?"

"Why did "the developing" Armenia hand all its enterprises to Russia? Though what can we expect from a country, which is contemptuously called an outpost?", spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Khazar Ibragim said commenting on the announcement of the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of Armenia, who stated that signs of despair are obvious in Azerbaijan.

He said the announcement evidences that the Foreign Ministry of Armenia prefers to set the desired for the reality. In particular, he commented on Karapetyan's conclusion, according to which Armenia leaves Azerbaijan behind on almost all international standards

"He and other Armenian diplomats, who make such announcements, would better take training courses. In particular, it would be interesting to me to listen to their answer to the question "why does Armenia, which "outstrips" Azerbaijan on almost all world standards" lags behind Azerbaijan by the GDP growth rates and by the volume of budget. Why did "the developing" Armenia hand all its enterprises to Russia? Though what can we expect from a country, which is contemptuously called an outpost? Only a good facial expression in a bad game or attempts to hide from it people the truth that the positions of this country have weakened through the last few years, while Azerbaijan's influence is growing"

He noted that Karapetyan's statement is designed for Armenian audience in the threshold of presidential elections. He also referred to it the statement that it will take another 10-15 years for Azerbaijani army to reach the level of the Armenian troops.

"There is also the statistics of a number of international organizations, including OSCE and UN, according to which Armenia violates international conventions in open by dislocating military technique in the occupied lands thus violating the CFE Treaty quotes. If Armenian diplomats, who state that Armenia outstrips Azerbaijan, imply this, I fully agree with them. Armenia is really a leader on the Earth in ignoring all existing international norms and resolutions"

He also commented on Matthew Bryza's statement that any resolution on the Garabagh conflict must be supported by the people of Nagorno Garabagh, despite official Baku's repeated announcements that the term "people of Nagorno Garabagh" does not exist.

"We have witnessed that Armenian mass medias misinterpret Matthew Bryza's statements and that was confirmed by the latter. He opposed the announcements of the Armenian press that he criticized the slogan "Two states-one nation" and the policy in this direction.

He also agreed that the representatives of Armenian and Azerbaijani communities of Nagorno Garabagh must be informed about the negotiation process.

"And it does take place. The OSCE co-chairmen regularly meet with them".

He noted that Azerbaijan will never agree on the unilateral settlement of the issue and on the participation of only the representatives of the Armenian community of Nagorno Garabagh in the negotiation process.
