If Armenia interested in peace and stability, it should support use of Aghdam-Khankendi road, Azerbaijan says

BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 27. If Armenia is interested in peace and stability, it should support the use of the Aghdam-Khankendi road, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a statement, Trend reports.

The statement came in response to the recent saying of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan about an attempt to send cargos to the territory of Azerbaijan.

"Sending convoys under the guise of "humanitarian cargo" to the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan without the consent of the Azerbaijani side is another provocation against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. It is unacceptable that this provocation be encouraged at the level of the Armenian state and the Prime Minister," said the statement.

"The Armenian side, instead of accusing Azerbaijan of attempting the so-called "genocide", must apologize for the forced deportation of Azerbaijanis from the territory of Armenia, the mass death of people during eviction from their homes, genocide as a result of aggression and occupation of Azerbaijani territories, crimes against humanity, the policy of ethnic cleansing and others perfect deeds," said the ministry.

The ministry added that Armenia must refrain from provocative steps, support the proposal of the Azerbaijani side to use the Agdam-Khankendi road and other alternative ways to meet the needs of the Armenian residents of Karabakh.

"The Armenian side also should not interfere with Azerbaijan's efforts to reintegrate the Armenian residents of Karabakh," the Foreign Ministry said.
