Azerbaijani president makes few inaccuracies at joint press conference with Merkel – Eduard Sharmazanov
Statement of Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel about Armenia’s occupation of the Azerbaijani territories may give new escalation to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Armenian National Assembly Vice Chairman Eduard Sharmazanov said.
“In one sentence Aliyev made few inaccuracies. First, Armenia is not a conflicting side and the Armenian forces have not occupied territories. Secondly, if they search occupied territories these are Shahumyan, Getashen, Martunashen, territories of Artsakh Republic occupied by the Azerbaijani side,” Sharmazanov said.
“Azerbaijanis must free these territories from their presence. Artsakh will never be part of Azerbaijan, never. For the settlement of the conflict all the parties should first of all recognize the full implementation of right of Artsakh people to self-determination. There is no other way,” he noted.
