“It is time to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Every Azerbaijani should take part in the liberation of lands,” said Azerbaijani Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu.
The diplomat recalled that the largest Diaspora organization of Azerbaijan is in Russia, saying if military solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is chosen, much will depend on Azerbaijanis living in Russia and everyone must be ready for this:
“If someone thinks to sit at home until the army releases occupied land, this will not be like that. The whole country, the society and people should rise up and unite to support their president and liberate their lands. It cannot be otherwise.”
According to the ambassador, the Azerbaijani Diaspora abroad should accelerate the process of self-organization, eliminate fragmentation and turn into a more mobile force. The ambassador also noted that the decision on strengthening the ties between the Diaspora organizations in Russia has been taken. The meeting was in the center of attention at the last meeting with diaspora organizations.
The ambassador noted that the solution to the conflict on its territory is a sovereign right of official Baku. He said international organizations should call an aggressor by its name:
“They should stop treating Armenia like a sick child.” According to the ambassador, in case military solution to the problem is chosen, the interference of the Collective Security Treaty Organization which has Armenia as a member is legally impossible: “Russian authorities have reiterated recognition of the territorial integrity and inviolability of borders of Azerbaijan. According to the Ambassador, the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) may intervene only if Azerbaijan violates the territorial integrity of the Armenia: “But not the Azerbaijani territory is implied. Therefore, the interference of a third country in the issue is impossible from a legal point of view”
