AZERBAIJANI DEFENCE MINISTRY: "IF FASSIER REALLY SAID SUCH WORDS THEN NO JU TICE CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THIS DIPLOMAT" APA March 12 2010 Azerbaijan Baku - APA. "Demonstrating different positions in Baku and Yerevan encourages the aggressor to pursue its aggressive policy", said Spokesman for Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, Lieutenant-Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu while answering the question on statements made by French Co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group Bernard Fassier at the seminar of NATO Parliamentary Assembly "Rose Roth" in Armenia's capital. "We do not wish war, because it means new destructions and new tragedies", said Sabiroglu and added that it was also stated by the President of Azerbaijan over and over again. "However, Armenia still continues its aggressive policy. What steps should Azerbaijan take in this situation? Of course, Azerbaijan has nothing to do, but strengthen its army and equip it with the cutting-edge weapons. And this process is successfully continuing. That's why, the factors making the war statements come to agenda should attentively be taken into consideration. Here emerges a very simple question. What was the Minsk Group as an international organization established for? What results has its 15-year activity produced? All these should be clarified. Before commenting on Azerbaijani Defence Minster Safar Abiyev's recent statement, Fassier had to take stance on what positive results his organization brought to the conflict and think about whether the Minsk Group has power to solve this problem by peaceful means or not. I am not utterly surprised at French Co-chair's words on Armenian and Karabakh warriors, because his position has always been so and defended Armenia unilaterally. Strange to say, what does Mr. Fassier mean when he said "I personally know about the bravery of the Armenian and Karabakh warriors?" If he really said such words then no justice can be expected from this diplomat". Note that Novosti Armenia reported that while making a speech at the seminar of NATO Parliamentary Assembly "Rose Roth" in Yerevan, French co-chairman of OSCE Minsk Group Bernard Fassier stated that the victory of Azerbaijan in the event of renewed war is impossible, because he personally knows about the bravery of the Armenian and Karabakh warriors. Fassier believes that the war will not bring benefits to Azerbaijan, as cause substantial harm to its financial interests, oil trade. Co-Chair explained that international investors investing in the economy of Azerbaijan will not want to have their funds at risk and abandon investment.
