'Armenia is headed by a man, whose words contradict his actions', said Ali Hasanov.
Failure of the June meeting of the presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia in Kazan is due to unconstructive position displayed by the Armenian side once again.
The remarks came from Ali Hasanov, head of the public and political department at the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration, in an interview with Azerbaijan newspaper.
The international community should step up pressure on Yerevan so that the negotiating process will not be fruitless, he said.
'Diplomatic activity aims to achieve results. Therefore, the three leading states are engaged in conflict resolution. Of course, they want to achieve result, establish peace in the South Caucasus so that a region with a geo-strategic importance for the world would finally live in peaceful neighborhood conditions which, in turn, will play an important role to ensure security throughout the world.
And to achieve result, it is required to increase pressure on Armenia which, in turn, requires these countries [co-chairs] to show a strong will,' Hasanov noted.
Unserious people hold the power in Armenia at the moment, the official added.
'We should talk about it openly. Pay attention to speeches of the Armenian president, foreign minister and his deputies. Such views voiced by the president and ministers of an independent state are regrettable.
Their speeches consist of frivolous, ridiculous thoughts. We are dealing with a frivolous country. This unserious policy harms not only Azerbaijan, but also the people who live in the occupied territories and keeps the population of Armenia as hostage. The Armenian people have actually become hostages of the military regime and have remained on the sidelines of the processes of regional and global development for years. Armenians are hostages of business interests of a militarist group. If severe measures are not taken against this group, you can expect anything from them,' Hasanov continued.
All the decisions taken by the Armenian president are not serious, because the statement he voiced in one event contradicts his behavior at subsequent meetings, the presidential official said.
'Armenia is headed by a man, whose words contradict his actions,' Hasanov added.
