Commentary of Leyla Abdullayeva, Chief of the Press Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on the statement of the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Armenia

The Chief of General Staff of the armed forces of aggressor state Armenia in his statement today addressed racist remarks against the Azerbaijani people based on hatred. This statement is a clear demonstration of the state policy of Armenia based on aggression, ethnic hatred and Azerbaijanophobia.

In the 21st century, such statements about other nations demonstrate how Armenian officials are far from civilization.

We call on the international community to condemn this racist and chauvinist statement of the Armenian official.
