The situation on the Khankandi-Lachin road can be quickly resolved if there are no external influences, representative of the United Diaspora of Ukrainian Azerbaijanis Hikmet Javadov said at a press conference in Kyiv on the plunder of Azerbaijan’s natural resources in the zone of temporary deployment of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, Report informs.
According to Javadov, Russia is not a stabilizing factor in the region; it specifically sent the Russian billionaire Ruben Vardanyan to the territory of Karabakh to ignite the conflict between the parties.
“Every day he speaks to the local Armenians and says that it is impossible to put up with the Azerbaijanis,” he said, adding that Vardanyan acts together with the peacekeepers and does everything so that the normalization of the situation and the improvement of relations between the parties does not occur.
Javadov reminded that Azerbaijan has repeatedly turned to Russia to resolve the Karabakh conflict from the very beginning of its occurrence.
“But we see how it helps. What is happening now in Ukraine happened in Karabakh in the 90s. We see how civilians were killed in Mariupol, just as Azerbaijanis were killed in Khojaly,” he added.
In conclusion, Javadov stressed that Azerbaijan today is a strong state, and will not agree to give anyone at least some part of its territory.
