Asbarez writes that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, during a reception marking the 20th anniversary of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party (YAP), said that “Armenian Lobby is the main enemy of Azerbaijan”.
“I have repeatedly said and I want to repeat it in the open that the Armenian lobby is our enemy. This is because Armenia, as a country, is of no importance. In fact, it is a colony, an outpost; a territory governed from abroad which was artificially created in ancient Azerbaijani lands,” said Aliyev adding “The Armenian lobby is our main enemy and we are the main enemy for them. In fact, the source of our enmity with them is their enmity with us. Second is anti-Azerbaijani center, structures and circles infected with Islamophobia. Unfortunately, their number is growing all the time. The growth in their number was manifested during the elections held in some countries. The results of elections make the growth of the rating of Islamophobia forces clear.”
