Azerbaijani leadership distort the reality

“If Armenian forces withdraw from the occupied territories, there will be no need for snipers and no armed incidents will occur,” Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov had told a joint press conference with OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier in Baku.

In response to Mammadyarov’s statement, Deputy Speaker of Armenian Parliament Edward Sharmazanov commented, “Mister Mammadyarov continually distorts reality which is so typical for the Azerbaijani leadership. And the reality is this: as long as Azerbaijan continues to occupy certain regions of NKR (Getashen, Martunashen, Shahumyan), with Azerbaijani snipers periodically opening fire on civilians, the kindergarten in that number, the Azerbaijani side bears full responsibility for lack of serious progress in Karabakh peace process. Therefore there is no need to look for a cat in a dark room when the cat is sitting on your shoulders.”
