Karen Avagyan: Mammadov’s statement sounds cynical
“This statement sounds cynical. How can Azeri officials be advocates of peace and stability while they do everything possible to destabilize and aggravate the situation in the region?” MP, head of the Armenian delegation to NATO PA Karen Avagyan told Panorama.am, commenting on a statement by Novruz Mammadov, head of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration’s Foreign Policy Department that “Azerbaijan has always stood for peace and stability in the region.”
According to Avagyan, there is an impression that Mammadov approached the issue with humor, because Azerbaijan does nothing towards maintaining and strengthening peace in the region. More, it carries out propaganda of war and intolerance.
“The Armenian side, unlike Azerbaijan, not only always speaks for regional peace, but also takes steps towards its establishment,” the MP concluded.
