Ilham Aliyev’s recent speech at the United Nations Security Council was specific expression of cynicism - RA MFA.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has voiced criticism over Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s recent speech at the United Nations Security Council.

In a statement it says that the Azeri leader’s words were based on lies, distortions and groundless speculations.

“Instead of reaffirming his country’s commitment to the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, the President of Azerbaijan abuses the authoritative tribune of the UN Security Council in order to repeat the overused theses of anti-Armenian propaganda of Azerbaijan, just only forgetting to recall the Azerbaijani leadership’s famous racist thesis that Azerbaijan’s ‘main enemies are Armenians worldwide,’ reads the statement.

The Ministry says that the Azerbaijani leadership’s continuous threats to regional peace and security and its belligerent statements provoking hostility are unbecoming of a UN member state and discredit the Security Council.
