These are segments from the speech of the 7th at the 2021 March
5 Congress of the "New Azerbaijan" party of the President of
Azerbaijan. This presentation simply begs these questions: who, after all, is
speaking in fascism language; and, how will there be peace under these
conditions when the President of the country (Azerbaijan) proudly emphasizes
that an entire generation has grown up with hatred towards Armenia and its
population.
«The younger generation has grown up with (...) hatred for the
enemy, and this young generation has liberated our lands from the invaders».
«Armenia is in an isolated state today, while we are building
relations with all our neighbors very effectively, based on friendship and good
neighborliness. This was also a kind of preparation. I want to say frankly that
if preparatory work had not been done in this area, then we could have faced
difficulties in the second Karabakh war. Armenia has isolated itself. In other
words, we isolated it from regional projects, from oil and gas projects, ruined
their economy, and we can say with a sense of pride that we are the main factor
here, as any independent economic expert can confirm. We exposed Armenia as an
ambivalent and unstable country with no future. Demographic problems arose,
which in itself led to shrinking of the economy».
«Today Armenia shies away from cooperation, attempts to hamper
the implementation of the Zangazur corridor. But they will fail. We will make
them. We will force them. We will achieve our goals, just as we drove them out
of our lands».
