Community: Pashinyan following France's instigation, has chosen path to create tension in region

Armenia intends to embark on a military adventure at the instigation of France, the Western Azerbaijan Community said in a statement, Olaylar informs.

According to Community, the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, has attempted to accuse Azerbaijan of preparing to attack Armenia by claiming that the term chr("39")Western Azerbaijanchr("39") is against the territorial integrity of Armenia:

"First, it should be emphasized that the term chr("39")Western Azerbaijanchr("39") is based on historical and geographical reality, and its use by our Community is based on the right to self-identification recognized by international human rights conventions. Pashinyan, who tries to criticize the activities of the Western Azerbaijan Community, which has repeatedly declared its respect for the territorial integrity of states, should clarify the issue of maintaining provisions in his countrychr("39")s legislation about the annexation of Azerbaijani territories and creating conditions for the activity of separatist elements aiming at Azerbaijanchr("39")s territorial integrity within Armeniachr("39")s territory.

"It is evident that the Prime Minister of Armenia, following Francechr("39")s instigation, has chosen the path to create tension in the region. The sale of a large amount of weapons by France to Armenia and the ongoing visit of Francechr("39")s defense minister and the heads of this countrychr("39")s major military-industrial companies to Armenia, suggests that Armenia intends to embark on a military adventure at the instigation of France.

"We demand from Pashinyan to stop letting his country be used as a pawn in Francechr("39")s games, to end the policy of mass armament, and pursue peace with Azerbaijan by facilitating the safe and dignified return of Western Azerbaijanis to their homes."
