Armenia has some Responsibility towards Peace in the Region Or Not?

Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent districts are historically part of Azerbaijan. We in Pakistan, the Government, people and journalist community have always expressed solidarity with brotherly country Azerbaijan not only for that Azerbaijan in our friend but on principle stand. Latest situation on the borders is not doubt created by the aggressor country Armenia that is occupying the Azerbaijani territories since long violating all international norms, laws and conventions.

Pakistan does not recognize Armenia and we have not established diplomatic relations only because we are sure that Armenia is endangering the peace of the region by not handing over Nagorno-Karabakh and other districts to who it belong to.

Here it is worth noting that Azerbaijan with its valiant armed forces is fully capable of not only protecting its borders but also can take back its lands from Armenia. But , as a responsible state and peace loving country, Azerbaijan is looking towards the big players of this region and the world to take notice of continued irresponsible responses of Armenia towards an issue that cannot be ignored further.

It is a big question for the conscience of the world community and especially UNO that how far an illegal possession and oppression can be endured by the Azerbaijani nation and their brothers and sisters living a miserable life under the tyrant occupation of Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh?

Why is Armenia enjoying all liberties that whenever it wants it breaks ceasefire, opens indiscriminate , unprovoked fire at Azerbaijani troops and above all breaks all rules and regulations. Another question needs answer that how far, until when, Azerbaijan can remain calm and keep restraint only for the peace of the region? This is the responsibility of Azerbaijan only? Or Armenia also has some responsibility towards its neighbor and the world community?

Our media group and its staff at Urdu Daily Azkaar www.azkaar.com.pk and Monthly Magazine www.pakistanintheworld.pk has always raised voice against the Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan and occupation on its territories. We express our condolences for the brave soldiers of Azerbaijan who have sacrificed their lives to save their motherland. Our feelings and thoughts are with their families.
