Armenian FM warns against Azeri corrupt temptations

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian delivered a lecture at the Diplomatic Studies Institute, with ambassadors of foreign countries accredited in Mexico, foreign ministry’s high-ranking representatives, experts, journalists, professors and students present.

“Azerbaijan seeks to exercise its vast corrupt practices in international relations. Unfortunately, some politicians fall into the trap, unable to counter Baku’s corrupt temptations. Thus, an opinion is shaped in Azerbaijan that everything is bought and sold in international relations,” Minister Nalbandian said.

In response to the remarks expressing dissatisfaction with installation of the monument to ex-Azeri president and the so-called “Khojalu memorial”, he said, “A similar reaction was observed in Mexico and in the whole world. The plate of the monument to ex-Azerbaijani leader says that the former head of KGB served a brilliant example for commitment to peace. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan has been included in the lists of the most corrupt and undemocratic countries by a number of human rights organizations.”
