MFA: Dissemination by Armenian Prime Minister of allegations about “blockade” is an attempt of manipulation of international public opinion

“Dissemination by the Armenian Prime Minister of allegations about the “blockade,” while turning a blind eye to the activities of the International Red Cross Committee in the region, passage of dozens of Armenian residents through the checkpoint in both directions on a daily basis, and initiation by Azerbaijan about using alternative routes, including “Aghdam-Khankandi” road, is an attempt of manipulation of international public opinion, said Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry as it commented on Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s groundless allegations about the situation in the region within his interview to Le Monde.

“It is absurd and hypocritical that Armenia, while being a country, grossly violating all the norms and principles of international law for 30 years, ignoring four UN Security Council Resolutions, as well as warnings by international organizations against Armenian aggression and policy of ethnic cleansing towards Azerbaijan, calls for measures against Azerbaijan at the international level,” according to Azerbaijan in Focus, reporting AzerTac, citing the ministry.
