Political scientist: Nalbandyan wants to divert world attention from the fact that the armed forces of Armenia are occupying the territory of Azerbaijan

Armenian Foreign Minister wants to distract world attention from the fact that the armed forces of Armenia are occupying the territory of Azerbaijan, said political scientist Aydin Mirzazade, commenting on the statements of Armenian FM Edward Nalbandyan that Azerbaijan is allegedly "attaching a religious nature to the Karabakh conflict and speculating with the religious feelings of the OIC member-states.

According to him, the brightest sample of this is the recent incident when two Armenian soldiers transferred to the Azerbaijani side.

"Why are there Armenian citizens in the occupied Azerbaijani lands? Does Mr.Nalbandyan have an answer to this question? This is the first moment.

On the other hand, this is not the first case when Armenian representatives want to attribute to others the activities that they are dealing with", said the political scientist.

According to him, it is not Azerbaijan, not the OIC, but on the contrary, the leadership of Armenia and the Armenian diaspora abroad that are all the time trying to inject a religious nature to this question trying to impose on the world community that Armenia is a Christian country.

"On several occasions the leadership of Armenia and Armenian intellectuals argued that the co-existence of Muslims and Christians in the same region is impossible. Azerbaijani cultural values, memorials, temples and mosques are demolished in the Azerbaijani lands, occupied by Armenians.

And in the center of Baku there is still a Armenian Apostolic Church, which is protected by the state. It is not protected on purpose, as Baku people do not even think to treat this establishment otherwise. And what is done to our mosques in the Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani lands?", asks he.
