Permanent representative of Azerbaijan at UN informed the UN Secretary General on ceasefire violation by Armenia
Baku, February 17 (AZERTAC). Permanent representative of Azerbaijan at the United Nations Agshin Mehdiyev has sent a letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon in connection with the continuation of violation of cease-fire by military formations of the Republic of Armenia in December 2010 and January 2011.
The letter says that as a result of bombardments during this period two militaries of Armed Forces of the Azerbaijan Republic have been killed, two Azerbaijani militaries and one civilian were seriously wounded.
The Azerbaijan diplomat underlines that "following these events the high-ranking officials of the Republic of Armenia have made bellicose statements, undermining openly and deliberately the possibility of achievement during negotiations of settlement of the conflict and provoking situation escalation". So, in the statement on January 17, 2011, with usual historical falsifications and distortions of the facts, the president of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan has absolutely and definitely let know that the official position of Yerevan concerning process of settlement of the conflict is based on basic and persistent refusal of such standard principles, as freedom, justice and peace.
In his interview on January 27, 2011 president Sargsyan has confirmed again, that the Armenian party considers process of settlement of the conflict only as means for annexation of the Azerbaijani territories which have been occupied by it by means of the armed force and on which ethnic cleaning were carried out.
The UN Secretary General has been informed that in other statement the same day occasionally on the "Day of Armed Forces" the president of Armenia openly and cynically glorifying the armed forces and the heinous crimes committed by them in the aggression against Azerbaijan, made shameful statement. “It is necessary to notice that while the whole world absolutely definitely qualifies actions of the Armenian armed forces as "the acts of war crimes or crimes against humanity", the head of the Republic of Armenia considers the same acts as "victory".”
The letter says that the statement of the head of the Republic of Armenia don't leave any doubts that Armenia in full bears international responsibility for violation of international law."
Permanent representative of Azerbaijan in the letter underlines that first of all, Armenia is obliged to stop to carry out destructive policy of annexation and ethnic cleaning, to refuse attempts to discredit peace process, to put an end to occupation of the Azerbaijani territories and provide recognition and realization of the right of Azerbaijani internally displaced persons on returning to their places of origin.”
