â€œThe international community has come to understand that resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict demands much time. While Azerbaijan had better understand that the choice is to be made between NKRâ€™s independence and its joining Armenia,â€ Kiro Manoyan, director of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation- Dashnaktsutyun Political Affairs Office underlined, APA reports. Manoyan called for official Yerevan to transfer Armenian population to the â€œliberation territoriesâ€. He ruled out any financial problem for transference of Armenians in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Khazar Ibrahim commenting on Manoyanâ€™s remarks called this challenging.
â€œDashnaktsutyun is represented in Armenian parliament. Regrettably, such remarks sound like very dangerous fascism rather than civilized policy of the corresponding forces. Manoyanâ€™s calls for settling in occupied Azerbaijani regions resemble the remarks of Gebbels in Fascist Germany. He also used to call for settling in occupied territories. Since a country pursues such a policy in the 21st century and its is pursued by a political organization in the parliament, Armenia seems to be insistent in the outlawed activity based on using force,â€ the spokesman underscored. /APA/
