On February 11, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, during his interview with "The Telegraph" newspaper, once again voiced baseless defamatory claims against Azerbaijan.

Axar.az reports that this was included in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan regarding the allegations made by Pashinyan during the interview.

"During the interview, it is regrettable that the prime minister of Armenia, who promotes the fulfilment of international agreements and obligations, tries to ignore the fact that his country, which he represents, has occupied the territories of Azerbaijan for nearly 30 years, contrary to all the norms and principles of international law, as well as the purpose and goals of the Almaty declaration.

In addition, the undeniable facts that after the 44-day Patriotic War, Armenia grossly violated the provisions of the tripartite declaration, did not withdraw the occupying forces from the territories of Azerbaijan, continued to transfer weapons, military equipment, and mines to our territories, and committed other gross violations and provocations, indicate the true intentions of the Armenian side.

It is also well known to the Prime Minister of Armenia that although the Armenian side declared in the Prague and Sochi meetings and later that it recognized the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, in addition to making congratulatory statements in September 2023 regarding the fake "independence" of the so-called regime it created in the territories of Azerbaijan until today the international continues to claim against Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity in organizations and courts.

Another source of serious concern is the fact that the Armenian side is trying to forget the existence of existing legislation opposing the recognition of Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan.

"Instead of such provocations and thoughts and actions full of political manipulation against Azerbaijan, the Armenian side should comply with international obligations, not in words but in deeds, and contribute to the peace process," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
