Aliyev's remarks prove Armenian lobby’s effectiveness– expert

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's remarks dubbing “Armenian lobby Azerbaijan’s enemy” proves the importance and effectiveness of Armenian lobby, political commentator at Aztag Beirut-based daily said.

As Vahram Emmiyan noted, Aliyev's remarks are equivalent to awarding Armenian lobby a medal for its achievements and indirect declaration of “war”.

Azerbaijani leader further dubbed Islamophobia as another enemy for Baku.

“The statement is more a tool in Azerbaijani struggle against the Armenian lobby to blackmail other governments reluctant to recognize Nagorno Karabakh Republic,” he said.
