The statement of the Armenian Foreign Ministry dated March 24, which contains accusations against Azerbaijan in connection with the alleged escalation of the situation in the region, is another attempt to mislead the international community, Report informs referring to the statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
“According to the statement of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, the positions and locations of the Azerbaijani army are being clarified, so there are no reasons for hysteria. The Armenian side is engaged in disinformation, artificially inflating the problem.
As for technical problems on gas pipelines in the region due to difficult weather conditions, Armenia deliberately uses this situation as an instrument for political manipulation.
We would like to remind that for many years Armenia kept Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic with a population of more than 400,000 people in a gas blockade, for 30 years used the Sarsang reservoir as a tool for eco-terror against the population of Azerbaijan, for a long time denied the existence of maps of minefields, continues to hide information about the fate of about 4,000 Azerbaijanis who went missing in the early 1990s. Now Armenia is making baseless unfounded accusations against Azerbaijan, which is nothing but political hypocrisy on its part.
Now the only way to ensure peace and stability in the region is the full implementation of the provisions of the signed joint statements, including the complete withdrawal of the remnants of Armenian illegal formations from the region and the normalization of relations based on the principles of international law.
The time has come to get down to real work, not political manipulation,” the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
