ARMENIA WANTS TO OCCUPY NAKHIJEVAN?

This is the recurrent announcement of one of the Azeri delegates in PACE. The Armenian delegates don’t reply to such affirmations.

Rafael Huseinov, the member of Azeri delegation in PACE addressed a written question to the CE Committee of Ministers on June 27 which is titled: “Serious threats regarding the aggressive plans of Armenia towards Autonomous Republic of Nakhijevan and CE responsibility”. “It is mentioned in this written question: “Though one of the main commitments Armenia has honored after CE accession to stop the aggression against Azerbaijan and withdraw the occupied regions, no essential change has been made on this occasion. Just the opposite, as there is no control over the occupied 7 Azeri regions, Armenia has made new terrorist actions: it has used these territories for drug transfer, organization of terrorist camps, illegal weapon trade, making diversions for military counteratack. The syndrome of non-punishment leads Armenia to design new aggressive projects against Azerbaijan . One of the main military purposes of Armenia is the occupation of Autonomous Republic of Nakhijevan that belongs to Azerbaijan . For that purpose the Ministry of Justice of Armenia officially registered « Nakhijevan Community» organization and the «Military Corps of Nakhijevan» was formed by the support of the Ministry of Defense. «Nakhijevan» newspaper has being published since April 2001 to spread propaganda materials. During that period Armenia concentrates its military units in Sadarak, Eastern part of Nakhijevan. Besides camps and military forces are placed in Armenian residences near Nakhijevan: Dastakert, Yeghegnadzor, Kajaran and Aghakar”.

According to Huseinov’s letter, the Ministry of Defense of Armenia has supplied defense technologies to the «Military Corps of Nakhijevan». Armenia has also designed to replace several military units in the neighboring regions of Nakhijevan. The intention of Armenia to start one more war with Azerbaijan, is a serious threat in South Caucasus. Unfortunately Armenia uses the Council of Europe to achieve its project of Nakhijevan occupation». The author also accuses the Armenians as if they destroy Azeri graves but complain about dstruction of cross stones in Old Jugha. There is an affirmation that Armenians themselves have stolen the cross stones from Old Jugha and keep it in Echmiadzin.

… Almost all facts of this letter are false. The Azeri delegates make such affirmations very frequently , not only in the questions addressed to the Committee of Ministers. The Armenian delegates didn\’t make any speech. The reason of this was anti Armenian formulations of CE officials and documents.
