Actually it’s not available in English, you have to use google translate.

In a long speech at the UN General Assembly session on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, Azerbaijani President Ilham Ali made a number of manipulative and erroneous statements about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

However, before referring to Ali's statements, it should be noted that some of them are regularly manipulated by the Azerbaijani authorities and carry the main theses in the light of which official Baku is trying to present the Artsakh conflict to the international community.

One such thesis is the four resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council in 1993 during the active hostilities in Karabakh, the content of which is regularly manipulated. This time, during his long speech at the General Assembly, Ilham Ali noted that the four resolutions of the Security Council required the Republic of Armenia to "completely, immediately and definitely withdraw the Armenian Armed Forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan."

UN resolutions In those four resolutions, however, there is no mention of the Armenian Armed Forces.

As we have already mentioned, the UN Security Council resolutions were adopted during the phase of active hostilities in Karabakh in 1993, and were generally aimed at the cessation of hostilities in the conflict zone and the establishment of a ceasefire. Resolution 822 states that the Security Council is concerned about the "invasion by local Armenian forces" of the Kelbajar region of Azerbaijan. There is no word in the resolution about the RA Armed Forces. Instead, "responsibility" is placed on "local Armenian forces."

The picture becomes clearer in the other formulas. Thus, for example, already in Resolution 853, the UN Security Council "calls on the Government of the Republic of Armenia to continue to use its influence to ensure that the Armenians of the Nagorno-Karabakh region comply with Resolution 822, and that they accept the OSCE Minsk Group proposals." In other words, the Security Council is not talking about the RA Armed Forces, but only about the influence of the Armenian government on the people of Artsakh.

The same is true for the other two resolutions. Resolution 874 speaks about "the withdrawal of the armed forces from the recently occupied territories and the elimination of obstacles to transport and communication" without addressing the Republic of Armenia again. Resolution 884 calls on the Government of Armenia to "use its influence to ensure that the Armenians of the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan comply with the requirements of Resolutions 822, 853 և 874 (above) and ensure that funds are not provided to the forces involved in continuing their armed campaign."

Captive officer In his distant speech, Ilham Ali also referred to the hostilities that took place on the border of Tavush in July of this year, to the Armenian officer Gurgen Alaverdyan, who was captured on August 22. According to Ali, Alaverdyan allegedly was the commander of a subversive group. "The subversive group tried to cross the line of contact. On August 23, 2020, the leader of that group was arrested by Azerbaijani servicemen. He admitted that the group planned to carry out terrorist acts against Azerbaijani servicemen and civilians.

In connection with this statement, it should first be noted that the Armenian side denied Gurgen Alaverdyan's statements that the Azerbaijani side was a saboteur. According to the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia, Gurgen Alaverdyan appeared on the Azerbaijani side due to confusion and confusion due to very unfavorable weather conditions.

A few days later, the Azerbaijanis released a video in which Gurgen Alaverdyan allegedly confessed that he had penetrated Azerbaijan to carry out subversive actions. In the video, however, it is clear that the Armenian officer reads his words from the text, keeping his eyes on the lines without the appropriate accent. But even in that case, the statement of the President of Azerbaijan does not correspond to the text read by Alaverdyan, as the latter does not say a word about terrorist acts.

The Armenian world army In his speech, the President of Azerbaijan shows some awareness of the events in Armenia, for example, that the issue of creating a world power is being discussed in Armenia.

"The Prime Minister of Armenia has announced the creation of an armed world force, which will consist of tens of thousands of civilians who will be forced to take part in hostilities against Azerbaijan," said Ilham Ali.

First of all, we should start from the fact that the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan did not announce the creation of a world power. The Ministry of Defense was the first to announce the issue of creating a world power for public discussion. The issue is currently under public discussion.

As for the fact that "civilians will be forced to take part in hostilities against Azerbaijan", it is completely false, "membership in the military will be exclusively on a voluntary basis," he said, Deputy Defense Minister Gabriel Balayan said. According to the draft submitted by the Ministry of Defense, the world army is a system of voluntary participation of citizens in the armed defense of Armenia in the conditions of an armed attack on Armenia, in the presence of its immediate danger or hostilities. In other words, there is no question of mandatory or compulsory participation.

Pashinyan's seven conditions Referring to the negotiation process on the Artsakh conflict, Ali said in his speech that the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan presents unfounded conditions in the negotiation process. "We have rejected the conditions set for Azerbaijan by him," Ali said.

One can only guess what conditions Ali meant! Perhaps we are talking about the position of Armenia presented by Nikol Pashinyan after the July battles, which he formulated with seven points. It is difficult to consider these points as a condition for starting, resuming or continuing the negotiation process. Some of them, for example, the first point, "Armenia և the general security system of Artsakh should be further strengthened", generally refer only to Armenia or Artsakh և are not addressed to Azerbaijan or the mediators.

Thus In his speech, Ilham Ali made other manipulative, untrue statements about, for example, the glorification of Garegin Nzhdeh, allegedly a fascist figure in Armenia, alleged anti-Azerbaijani statements in Armenia's national security strategy, and sowing hatred towards Azerbaijan in Armenia.

In general, Ali's statements are one of the statements of the Azerbaijani official position, which is largely based on misinformation, manipulation, aimed at presenting the international community to Baku in a favorable way, distorting the essence of the Artsakh conflict.
