Stepanakert advised Aliyev to refrain from assessing democratic  processes in other states

ArmInfo.Stepanakert advised the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev to refrain from assessing the democratic processes in other states.

"When the leader of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev talks about democratic 

processes in other states, and even more criticizes them, at best it 

should be treated with humor, at worst do not pay attention to the 

nonsense leader of an authoritarian state. Aliyev has neither the 

moral nor the legal right to talk about democratic processes. About 

democracy says the country's leader, who turned his own state into a 

khanate, privatized the country and completely subordinated to the 

Aliyev clan. Fat point in this whole story was the appointment of 

Vice President of the country his wife Mehriban Aliyeva. The entire 

international community laughs at the actions of Aliyev. As they say, 

their son will be the second vice-president, and it remains only to 

appoint another mother-in-law on the advice of Kazakhstan, this will 

be the culmination of their disgrace," said the spokesman of NKR 

President David Babayan in a conversation with ArmInfo correspondent.

Referring to Aliyev's statement that the extradition and further 

imprisonment of blogger Alexander Lapshin for visiting 

Nagorno-Karabakh was an instructive lesson for others, the official 

representative of the NKR leader expressed his conviction that this 

is the result of inaction by the international community. According 

to him, thus, Aliyev challenges the international community. Babayan 

believes that if the international community, especially the European 

structures, would give an adequate assessment and condemn these 

actions of Baku, Aliyev would not dare to make such cynical 

statements today. "I also want to note that the participation in the 

constitutional referendum of international observers from three dozen 

countries, a vivid example of the fact that Aliyev will not be able 

to intimidate people. Well, let persecution of scientists, European 

parliamentarians, journalists begin. So they only once again 

compromise themselves. At the same time, I believe that the 

international community should give an appropriate assessment to such 

actions of Baku, as it is a slap in the first place to them," resumed 

Babayan.

To note, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, stated during the 

speech to the Cabinet: "In the first quarter of this year, the focus 

was also on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The OSCE 

Minsk Group co-chair countries several times stated that the "status 

quo" is unacceptable. The Minsk Group should increase pressure on 

Armenia. The UN Security Council adopted 4 resolutions on the 

conflict. These resolutions must be implemented unconditionally. 

Despite all attempts by Armenia, its unconstructive and insincere 

policy turned into an object of condemnation. Azerbaijan is getting 

stronger every day, and I am sure that this issue will sooner or 

later be fairly resolved. Having conducted an illegal referendum in 

Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia once again disgraced itself. Its neighbors, 

the countries members of the MG, the European Union and other 

countries, immediately condemned this referendum.  They said that 

they did not recognize it. The international community, not 

recognizing this referendum, demonstrated support for the territorial 

integrity of Azerbaijan. Another successful moment is the extradition 

of a citizen of a foreign country to Azerbaijan who illegally 

traveled to Nagorno-Karabakh.  This was a lesson to someone who 

rudely violated our laws, as well as to him similar."
