"The conflict has just ended and the wounds are still fresh. our task is to respond properly and sufficiently diplomatically or not to respond to such statements, which is also part of diplomacy. This was announced on October 28 in a conversation with journalists by the Deputy Speaker of the RA National Assembly, a member of the ruling "Civil Contract" faction, Vahagn Aleksanyan, referring to the statement of Hikmet Hajiyev, the assistant to the President of Azerbaijan. "Armenia and the Armenian society should apologize to the Azerbaijanis." According to his assessment, the Armenian MFA performs this function properly. "It is not very acceptable to try to extract the maximum political content from such statements," Aleksanyan noted, adding that there is no one-sided peace, and the current peace is not one-sided either. He emphasized that there is no shooting on both sides of the border and peace prevails. "Are there statements that can often be interpreted as torpedoing the peace process?" Yes, they do. But what should be our reaction to respond with torpedoing statements of identity? No, that is the worst that can be done. We need to work calmly and diplomatically," Aleksanyan noted, adding that "our colleagues (from Azerbaijan - ed.), in turn, can quote the words of Armenian opposition officials."
