Lawmaker: Azerbaijan seeks to strip Armenia of its vitality
Azerbaijan seeks to deprive Armenia of its vitality, MP Tigran Abrahamyan of the opposition Pativ Unem faction told reporters in the parliament on Thursday.
He claimed Azerbaijan's military aggression against Armenia in 2021 or 2022 was aimed at it.
"Imposing territorial losses [on Armenia] is essential for Azerbaijan, but its key purpose is not to gain settlements or carry out successful military operations in various areas, but to take control over the significant facilities and infrastructures in Armenia in an effort to strip the country of its vitality and prevent it from struggling and developing,” Abrahamyan said.
Speaking about an Armenian-Azeri peace treaty and talks about the border delimitation and demarcation envisaged by it, the MP stated Azerbaijan “has effectively carried it out” by attacking and seizing swaths of Armenian territory.
