It useful for Aliyev and ruling elite to suffer losses-David Babayan

Killing the civilian is a terrorist, criminal act, said Artsakh President’s press secretary David Babayan in an interview with “Armenpress” referring to the killing of a civilian by an Azerbaijani sniper in Artsakh.

“The person is a shepherd and becomes a target for Azerbaijan.

This bespeaks about the fact that we are dealing with a terrorist state.

This is a state that can not be told apart from the “Islamic State”.It breaks all the moral and legal norms.

Azerbaijan declares that holds hostages which is a flagrant violation of the international law.

In the modern world hostages are being held by terrorists, criminals, but they announce the issue on the state level.

We know what kind of state we are dealing with, but the international community must also show an adequate response.

Unfortunately, we can not see it,” said the press secretary of the Artsakh President.

In response to our question whether Azerbaijan is trying to divert public attention from foreign affairs, David Babayan noted that this approach has always been the strategy of the Azerbaijani authorities.

“There always has been that option to divert attention from the internal problems especially when there are serious social and economic problems.

It is useful for Aliyev and the ruling elite to suffer great losses.

Bringing the bodies to villages they make it a real political show trying to show that Armenians are their enemy and not the corrupt regime”, he said.
