Azerbaijani MP Threatens Pashinyan and Armenia with New War

Azerbaijan continues to issue threats of a new war against Armenia and Artsakh, manipulating the content of the trilateral ceasefire statement. This information is provided by the Telegram channel Infoteka 24, citing Azerbaijani media.

The Telegram channel reports that Azer Badamov, a member of Azerbaijan's ruling party in parliament, commented on Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's remarks about Artsakh during an event dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Armenia's independence. Badamov stated that Artsakh no longer exists, there can be no talk of prosperity, and the Armenian casualties in the Second Karabakh War have 'become the victims of Armenia.'

"It seems that Pashinyan has forgotten the conditions under which he signed the capitulation document on November 10. It is unclear which Republic of Artsakh he is referring to. There is no mention of Artsakh in the trilateral statement he signed. Today, there is an Azerbaijani territory populated by Armenians, and it is under the control of Russian peacekeepers. The Russian peacekeepers entered there with Azerbaijan's permission and will leave at Azerbaijan's request," the MP said.

He also emphasized that, according to the statement, Armenian armed formations must leave Nagorno-Karabakh. "Pashinyan should not forget that Azerbaijan is patient and is waiting for the right moment. Pashinyan seems to have begun to forget the pain of the 'iron fist.' If things continue like this, we will need to use the iron fist for a second time. If the 'iron fist' is activated again, that will mean the end for Armenia. Pashinyan must understand that he needs to renounce his racist rhetoric and declare his willingness to sign a peace agreement with Azerbaijan as soon as possible, which will pave the way for Armenia's future independence," stated the Azerbaijani ruling party MP.

For its part, Armenia consistently advocates for the establishment of peace in the region and is ready to engage in negotiations on paths to achieve this peace following the final determination of the Republic of Artsakh's status. It should be noted that political settlement negotiations should begin after addressing humanitarian issues and fulfilling the conditions of the trilateral statement, in which there is no mention of recognizing Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan.
