Armenian leadership which is responsible for the absence of peace in the South Caucasus

28 September 2011
It is the Armenian leadership which is responsible for the absence of peace in the South Caucasus.

The statement came from Elman Abdullayev spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

He was commenting on the statements of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during the reception in honor of the 20th anniversary of Armenian independence organized in Los Angeles.

'Instead of attempting to mislead the local and world community, the Armenian leadership should demonstrate will and realize that peace and stability in the region are impossible without liberation of the occupied lands of Azerbaijan'.

He said that the president of Armenia should not forget that it is time to take steps to solve the Karabakh conflict rather than saying loud words while taking a trip to California.

'It is now not the time to blame someone while occupying alien lands and committing ethnic cleansing. There is no stability and peace in our region due to the unconstructive position of Armenia', Abdullayev said.

Sargsyan said in Los Angeles that Armenia has not yet attained stable peace which is why it is obliged to spend huge funds and resources to ensure security of their people and state.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is an important talking shop

31 August 2025
The annual gathering of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) is taking place this week in the Chinese port city of Tianjin. There are 10 member states in the Beijing backed SCO - including China itself, Russia and India, Pakistan and Iran - and 16 dialogue partners and observers, including some, like Armenia and Azerbaijan, who aspire to be full members. Leaders of the 26 countries have been arriving in Tianjin for the summit. The summit itself is largely symbolic but will allow leaders to air common grievances and shared interests. The organisation was created by China, Russia and four Central Asian countries in 2001 as a countermeasure to limit the influence of Western alliances such as NATO. This year's gathering is the largest since the organisation was founded. For Tianjin, the summit has become a major event with banners and billboards promoting it throughout the northern port city.
