“The head of our state, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, who has great respect and authority in the international world, successfully defended the interests of Azerbaijan in international meetings and high-level negotiations, thanks to his high political culture and deep and comprehensive knowledge. His opinions, suggestions and recommendations expressed in all international tribunes and high chairs are welcomed not only by political leaders, experts, political scientists, but also by the world community. It is no coincidence that our country takes a special place among the main participants of regional and international events of any topic. To be able to foresee the processes going on in the world, the results of these processes and the ways of regulation,
Sattar Mohbaliyev, chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation (ATUC), member of the Milli Majlis, expressed these views to the mass media.
According to him, the participation of President Ilham Aliyev in the summits of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in September this year, the “European Political Union” on October 6, and also in the 6th Summit of the Council on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia on October 13. it is an indication of its increasing influence, becoming a leading state in the region, and becoming a reliable and important partner for world states. At the 6th Summit Meeting our head of state informed the participants about the results of the Second Karabakh War, that it was Azerbaijan’s rightful cause, as well as about the destruction caused by Armenia in those territories during the occupation, about 3,900 missing Azerbaijanis whose fate is still unknown, and mass graves. It is known that Armenia still does not provide any information about the fate of persons considered missing in the First Karabakh War, mass graves. He is trying to lose track of his war crimes. Also, he continues these crimes by not providing a complete map of mined areas.”
“At the event, our head of state also mentioned the important role of Azerbaijan in the development of East-West and North-South transport corridors and touched on the creation of the Zangezur corridor. As we know, Azerbaijan is working hard to open the Zangezur corridor. The opening of the corridor is fully in the interests of all regional states. But Armenia is still trying to prevent this, it is not fulfilling the obligations it has undertaken and signed. Such behavior of the defeated Armenia, of course, does not bode well for their future, the leadership of this country deepens the political crisis they are in,” said the deputy of the Milli Majlis.
Later, ATUC Chairman Sattar Mohbaliyev drew attention to President Ilham Aliyev’s speech at the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) held in Astana on October 14. He said that the head of our state categorically declared that France has nothing to do with the relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia: “At one time, the Minsk Group of the OSCE, in which France was also represented, was recalled for the purpose of resolving the conflict, but nothing came of it, it could not fulfill its duties. France was the co-chair of the Minsk Group, and instead of showing neutrality, it tried to defend Armenia’s unfair position by taking sides during the war. A few days ago, French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments in an interview with “France2” TV channel, of course, arouse anger in all of us. It seems clear that this person looks at and analyzes issues through the eyes of separatist Armenians and conveys his wrong conclusions to the public. I wonder if this head of state is not aware of the 4 resolutions of the UN Security Council signed by France at the time!?. He says that “Azerbaijan started a terrible war that resulted in numerous losses and captured Nagorno-Karabakh.” France has carried out a mediation mission for many years with this logic!? The territories that Macro said Azerbaijan occupied were accepted in all documents and at the international level as Azerbaijan’s own territory. These areas are the territory of Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan has always been a supporter of peace and for many years tried to resolve the conflict through negotiations. Knowing all this, calling Azerbaijan an “occupier” that liberated its territories from occupation can only be a product of the thinking of politicians like Macron. It seems clear that Macron’s slanderous views are completely contrary to the principles of international law. If he turned around and took a look at the history of his country, he would have preferred to be ashamed and silent on such issues.”
In response to Emmanuel Macron’s opinion that “France is here and is a mediating state, we will not throw out the Armenians”, Sattar Mohbaliyev noted that what is the logic of this, there is an obvious side here, how can a sided state be a mediating country!?: “He is the head of state with this mindset. !? It’s a pity… He says that “we will not throw away the Armenians”. This is known, it has always been like this, even in wartime. But the result is obvious. Azerbaijan has already cleared its land of the aggressors with whom Macron is close. After that, it will protect its territories from invaders. In a word, I consider such approaches of Macron to be an obstacle to the improvement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, to peace negotiations, and I consider such behavior of such politicians as disruptive and destructive.
