Stepanakert advised Aliyev to refrain from assessing democratic  processes in other states

ArmInfo.Stepanakert advised the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to refrain from assessing the democratic processes in other states.

"When the leader of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev talks about democratic processes in other states, and even more criticizes them, at best it should be treated with humor, at worst do not pay attention to the nonsense leader of an authoritarian state. Aliyev has neither the moral nor the legal right to talk about democratic processes. About democracy says the country's leader, who turned his own state into a khanate, privatized the country and completely subordinated to the Aliyev clan. Fat point in this whole story was the appointment of Vice President of the country his wife Mehriban Aliyeva. The entire international community laughs at the actions of Aliyev. As they say, their son will be the second vice-president, and it remains only to appoint another mother-in-law on the advice of Kazakhstan, this will be the culmination of their disgrace," said the spokesman of NKR President David Babayan in a conversation with ArmInfo correspondent.

Referring to Aliyev's statement that the extradition and further imprisonment of blogger Alexander Lapshin for visiting Nagorno-Karabakh was an instructive lesson for others, the official representative of the NKR leader expressed his conviction that this is the result of inaction by the international community. According to him, thus, Aliyev challenges the international community. Babayan believes that if the international community, especially the European structures, would give an adequate assessment and condemn these actions of Baku, Aliyev would not dare to make such cynical statements today. "I also want to note that the participation in the constitutional referendum of international observers from three dozen countries, a vivid example of the fact that Aliyev will not be able to intimidate people. Well, let persecution of scientists, European parliamentarians, journalists begin. So they only once again compromise themselves. At the same time, I believe that the international community should give an appropriate assessment to such actions of Baku, as it is a slap in the first place to them," resumed Babayan.

To note, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, stated during the speech to the Cabinet: "In the first quarter of this year, the focus was also on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries several times stated that the "status quo" is unacceptable. The Minsk Group should increase pressure on Armenia. The UN Security Council adopted 4 resolutions on the conflict. These resolutions must be implemented unconditionally. Despite all attempts by Armenia, its unconstructive and insincere policy turned into an object of condemnation. Azerbaijan is getting stronger every day, and I am sure that this issue will sooner or later be fairly resolved. Having conducted an illegal referendum in Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia once again disgraced itself. Its neighbors, the countries members of the MG, the European Union and other countries, immediately condemned this referendum.  They said that they did not recognize it. The international community, not recognizing this referendum, demonstrated support for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Another successful moment is the extradition of a citizen of a foreign country to Azerbaijan who illegally traveled to Nagorno-Karabakh.  This was a lesson to someone who rudely violated our laws, as well as to him similar."
