Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will one day be held accountable for crimes in Khojaly, an Azerbaijani diaspora leader in Belgium has said.
"Today Sargsyan says that Turks will bow down and ask Armenia for an apology but he forgets his direct involvement in the killing of innocent people in Khojaly. Everyone knows that today's Armenian political elite have soiled their hands in the blood of civilians in Karabakh," Ayhan Demirci, chairman of the Azerbaijani-Belgian Friendship Society, told Gun.Az.
He was referring to comments made by Serzh Sargsyan to members of the Armenian community in Marseille that one day the Turkish people would "bow down" at the memorial to the victims of mass slaughter in the Ottoman Empire, slaughter which the Armenians say was genocide.
Demirci said that Sargsyan was just seeking to score points through these statements and through dragging out resolution of the conflict with Azerbaijan over Karabakh.
“These statements do not befit Armenia’s current socio-economic and socio-political situation. The Armenian people are hungry and are rapidly leaving the country. In these conditions, Sargsyan’s statements are nothing but ridiculous,” Demirci said.
