In the article, the author mentioned the statement made by Armenian ex-President Serzh Sargsyan in an interview with Thomas de Waal about deliberate committing of the Khojaly massacre, as well as the statement made by Armenian ex-President Robert Kocharyan about the impossibility of the coexistence of Armenians and Azerbaijanis.

“In fact, the opinions of both ex-presidents emphasize the aggressive policy and the policy of ethnic cleansing being conducted by Armenia against Azerbaijan,” the article said.

According to the article, as opposed to Armenia, the Azerbaijani side believes that the representatives of both peoples can live together.

The possibility of peaceful, coexistence of Azerbaijanis and Armenians in Azerbaijan’s Nagorno-Karabakh region was also stressed, the article said.

“To achieve peace Armenia must end its occupation, Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity must be restored, refugees and internally displaced people must return to their houses,” the article said.
