'History shows that the Armenian leaders have always sought to invent a false history of their people', said senior official Novruz Mammadov.
As of late, the Armenian authorities have made apparent attempts to build contacts with the opposition which showed that it can strongly influence public and political situation in the county.
Armenia will hold presidential and parliamentary elections in 2012-2013. That is why President Serzh Sargsyan is trying to mend relations with the head of the opposition Armenian National Congress, ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan to resist their common rivals former President Robert Kocharyan and Dashnaks.
The factor of unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict plays a significant role in all these processes.
Head of the international relations department at the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov has commented on a current public and political situation in Armenia.
“I can say that, unfortunately, no any international organization, strategic research center, analytical, research centers, or media engage in a detailed study of the socio-political, socio-economic situation and the state of affairs in Armenia as a South Caucasus country.
“Some external forces seem to be not interested in analysis of Armenia. But if this kind of study is conducted, it will become evident that the authorities and opposition in Armenia are involved in some dirty and dark games. The essence of Armenian politics is to create intrigue, hatred and confrontation, nothing else,” Mammadov noted.
“History shows that the Armenian leaders have always sought to invent a false history of their people, and eventually they became hostages to this history. So, whoever comes to leadership in Armenia, he will be forced to play by the rules of this false story, which holds Armenian people hostages.
“Therefore, it not surprising that Armenian President spoke of danger of a possible war from Azerbaijan at a meeting with visiting Lithuanian President which was to focus on fate of the Metsamor nuclear power station,” Mammadov added.
“Instead of discussing fate of outdated Metsamor nuclear power plant, a matter of life and death for the Armenian people and also danger for the whole region, Armenian leader resorted to provocation which confirms my observations that he is indifferent to the fate of his people.
“The Armenian leadership, being hostage of its own false history and continuing aggression against Azerbaijan, builds its own policies and views of the people only in this direction.”
“I have no doubts that the Armenian leadership will try to protract the negotiating process this time, too. Armenia has made use of this destructive step already numerous times. The OSCE co-chairs, international organizations and interested parties already know this. There are clear signs that Yerevan seeks to slow down negotiations.
Azerbaijan has a clear stance and action plan regarding the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyegv has made it clear in his speeches and meetings on numerous occasions that Azerbaijan will regain its lands in any case,” the senior official continued.
“We want to achieve this through negotiations. But we have every right to gain back our territories and we will use it as necessary.
But if this happens, it will be serious signal for international organizations, OSCE Minsk Group which should not use all sorts of schemes to delay resolution of conflicts. This can not go on forever and international community should take concrete steps,” Mammadov said.
