No distorted statistics will help Baku escape responsibility

PanARMENIAN.Net - It’s impossible to assess the damage Azerbaijan inflicted on Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia with its aggressive anti-Armenian policy, RA deputy foreign minister said.

According to Shavarsh Kocharyan, in response to Artsakh people’s right to self-determination Azerbaijan committed pogroms and ethnic cleansing of Armenians, unleashed massive aggression against the self-determined Nagorno Karabakh Republic, causing numerous victims and destructions.

“Azerbaijani leadership, which has given its axe-killer a hero’s welcome, refuses to withdraw snipers, create incident investigation mechanisms and observe the ceasefire.

No distorted statistics, manipulation of international law will help the Azerbaijani leadership to escape responsibility for the losses of the conflicting parties and undermining the mediators’ efforts to settle the conflict and maintain the peace and stability in the region,” deputy minister said.

Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Economic Development has assessed the “total damage” inflicted on the country as a result of the so-called “occupation” by Armenia, in fact liberation of historical Armenian territories at USD 431,5 bln. Baku claims “the process of calculation is still in process.”
