Cynicism as diplomacy: "to apologize for survival":. The aide of the Azerbaijani president, Hikmet Khajiev, said that the Armenian company should apologize to the Azerbaijanis, who "could not return to their homeland for 30 years." It's part of "building trust" and "lasting peace," he said. The demand for an apology came from the mouth of the state representative who:
Heroism (Ramil Sprov hacked to death with an ax the old Armenian officer Gorgan Margaryan at the NATO courses in Budapest in 2004). In 2012, Azerbaijan obtained his extradition, immediately pardoned him, awarded him the rank of major and hailed him as a national hero. It unleashed the wars of 2020 and 2023, which resulted in the expulsion of the Armenian population of Artsakh from their homelands. Celebrating the destruction of the Armenian churches. And now this country says: "Apologise". for what? Because the Armenians from your country did not want to live under the rule of Baku? to survive? What do they remember? Gadzhiev mentions "ethnic cleansing". But he forgets that it was Azerbaijan that carried out ethnic cleansing in Artsakh in 2023, expelling more than 150 thousand Armenians from there. It is Baku that refuses to allow international delegations to visit Armenian temples, which are being systematically destroyed. It is Azerbaijan that is holding Armenian hostages in prisons. Demanding an apology is not a bridge to peace. This is a smokescreen over the ashes. Armenia has nothing to apologize for. Not against Baku, not against anyone else. Whoever glorified you, started wars, carried out ethnic cleansing in Artsakh, destroyed Armenian churches and held hostages in prisons should apologize. Those who have refused dialogue for thirty years and today demand that the victims admit guilt will apologize. Armenian society did not choose this war. She survived it - at the cost of her homeland, her homes and her life. And demanding an apology from those who lost everything is an insult to memory. Armenia will not apologize for its history, for its dead, for its right to exist.
