Armenia`s Deputy Foreign Minister`s statement in BSEC caused Erdogan`s uncertain reaction
ArmInfo.Armenia`s Deputy Foreign Minister Ashot Hovakimyans's statement during special meeting of the BSEC Council of Foreign Ministers caused the Turkish President Erdogan`s uncertain reaction.
According to Azerbaijani Media, Hovakimyan called on the Speaker of
Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan Oktay Asadov not to use the platform of
BSEC for political speculations.
Immediately after the Hovakimyan's statement, Turkish President
Erdogan stated that he is not agree with Hovakimyan. "None of the
representatives speaking here made political blames and assessments.
But you dedicated all your time to that what in my opinion is not
right".
To note, Oktay Asadov during his speech said, "25 years ago BSEC was
created for long-term, tight cooperation. It is pity that during
these 25 years our region became more dangerous, new conflict took
place and the prospects of the development of the region are under
serious threat. The human tragedies grow, the number of inhumanity,
cruelty of people. But for Azeris, in particular, for more then a
million of refuges it not something new. Armenia continues the
occupation of 20% of Azerbaijani territories and through that
violates the security and stability of the region. "The occupation of
Azeri territories by Armenia" create obstacles for regional
cooperation. Unfortunately, on of BSEC members continue its
intolerance and aggression. The ideology of Armenia made itself a
mononational state and hinders both itself and the region to develop.
Armenia steel ignores the supremacy of the International Law by
refusing to implement 4 resolutions of UN Security Council. That is
why I would like to tell everybody that the primitive way of thinking
of the Armenian leadership is unhealthy. It is of no doubt that
Azerbaijan will fully restore its territorial integrity within the
norms of international law".
