Moscow slapped Azerbaijan’s face – Armenian MP

Artak Zakaryan, Chairman of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, Parliament of Armenia, has commented on a statement by Maria Zakharova, an official representative of Russia’s foreign office.

Ms Zakharova particularly said that a statement by Deputy Head of Azerbaijan’s Presidential staff Novruz Mammadov is Azerbaijan’s attempt to interpret the agreements reached at the Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in its own way. She branded the statements “very dishonest, with attempted interpretation of the meeting results.”

“Mammadov has always been famous for statements that have nothing in common with reality. And it is good that it is Moscow itself that has slapped Azerbaijan’s face now because Mammadov’s statement is aimed at Moscow’s efforts, and Azerbaijan is trying to kill Moscow’s initiative this time as well,” Mr Zakaryan told Tert.am.
