Eduard Sharmazanov: Second Armenian state already exists and its destiny is not near in hands of Aliyev
ArmInfo. Aliyev once again made a statement with his characteristic and not relevant to reality. It's very clear to everyone who is the right hand to break the negotiations on the Karabakh settlement, "Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov said in an interview with ArmInfo correspondent, commenting on the statement of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev that Armenia tried to disrupt the Karabakh talks, but this is for her it was not possible that Baku would not allow the creation of a second Armenian state, and the territorial integrity of the AR is not the subject of negotiations.
According to Sharmazanov, Aliyev's position regarding the talks was manifested during the April war and during his statements on the settlement of the conflict exclusively within the framework of the principle of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, thereby refuting the other fundamental principle of the Helsinki Final Act on the right of peoples to self-determination. "If Aliyev thinks that everything will go exclusively according to his scenario, he is very mistaken, he always says that he will not allow the creation of the second Armenian state, but it already exists." The people of Artsakh made their choice and not Aliyev, namely the population of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group decide the fate of this state, "Sharmazanov stressed.
Also Vice-Speaker stressed that Aliyev's numerous statements, which concern only issues relating to territorial integrity, clearly demonstrate his true plans and intentions. "It's time for Aliyev to understand that not everything in this world depends solely on his decisions," Sharmazanov concluded. To note, today at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers Ilham Aliyev said that Azerbaijan's position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains unchanged. "The territorial integrity of our country can not be negotiated," the Azerbaijani leader said. At the same time, he reiterated that Azerbaijan would not allow the creation of a second Armenian state on its lands. He once again accused Armenia of trying to disrupt the negotiation process on the Karabakh settlement and stated that they were unsuccessful.
