Freezing the Zurich protocols once again demonstrated the real essence of both Serzh Sargsyan and Armenia as a state, said Ganira Pashayeva, a member of the Azerbaijani delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
"Armenia itself knows that the establishment of peace and stability in this region passes through the liberation of Armenian-occupied territories. The main desire of Armenia is that the United States and the EU countries strengthen pressure on Turkey. I think that the Armenians will not achieve their goals, and without solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Turkey will never start discussing the protocols signed with Armenia and will continue keeping the borders closed," the member of Azerbaijani delegation to PACE, MP Ganira Pashayeva told Trend.
"Armenia has demonstrated its essence, which shows how it is sincere in restoring peace and stability, partnership in the region. I expect that Turkey will accelerate its efforts to bring to the world the true face of Armenia," the MP said.
According to Pashayeva, the guilty for the tense situation in the region is Armenia.
"Azerbaijan will continue its fair position as before. Unless Armenia withdraws from the occupied territories, there will be no partnership with it in the region. Armenia will not participate in any project where Azerbaijan plays a major role. Turkey has also demonstrated its position that the borders closed because of the occupation of Azerbaijani lands will not be opened until the Azerbaijani lands are liberated from occupation. Azerbaijan and Turkey will continue their fair position in the future as well," she said.
According to Pashayeva, the international organizations, OSCE and large forces must demonstrate their attitude towards this step of Armenia.
"Because with this step, Armenia demonstrated how it is interested in establishing peace and stability in the region. Now the main issue facing international organizations is to exert pressure on Armenia to withdraw from the Azerbaijani lands," said Pashayeva.
