Armenia has registered to participate in the COP-29 climate summit in Baku, but its delegation has not yet been represented, Azerbaijan’s aide to the president Hikmet Hajiyev said, local media reported.
According to the official, Baku sent invitations to all parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
“Unfortunately, Armenia is not represented at COP29, although the Armenian delegation registered to participate in the conference.” – said Gadzhiev, at the same time blaming Yerevan, which “it only makes its own unilateral propaganda”although it speaks of regional cooperation and association.
In turn, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in a meeting with a Finnish colleague Alejandro Stubbwho arrived in Baku to participate in the conference, stated that the OSCE Minsk Group is now part of history and stressed: Baku supports the peace agenda.
Aliyev said that an invitation was also sent to Armenia to participate in the JOP, but whether or not to participate in the conference depends on the country itself.
But apparently Yerevan has not yet decided on a trip to Baku, the Armenian authorities are simply buying time, completely confusing the public with pompous comments without details.
And this is what the author of the Telegram channel “Comrade General” thinks about this Baku issue:
“NO LONGER ARMENIA, BUT STILL AZERBAIJAN
It must be honestly admitted that these days Ilham Aliyev is celebrating a diplomatic triumph. Dozens of important birds, tired of the climate, have gathered in Baku and the president of Azerbaijan is happy to promote himself in their context and with their participation.
Could it have been different? Could. If Armenia remained Armenia.
Initially, Armenia was also a candidate to host COP29. She voluntarily gave up this status in exchange for Azerbaijan releasing some of the captured Armenians. Why parts and not all – ask Pashinyan.
However, taking this agreement into account, the fate of those who remained in Aliyev’s clutches was predetermined: no matter how much the various figures shouted, no one was going to free the prisoners.
Visits to Baku at COP29 by leaders of the European Union, the United States, the United Nations and a group of international organizations show that Azerbaijan’s conflicts with the West were mainly for show. The parties fulfilled their assigned number without crossing the red lines.
No matter how much the European Parliament, the head of the Council of Europe, squawks against Aliyev Michelle came to hug Aliyev and the head of his Foreign Ministry. Bayramov. No matter how much the United Nations cries about Aliyev’s failure to comply with judicial decisions: Secretary-General Guterres right here. Yes, almost everyone attended COP29, no matter how you look at it.
And only Armenia is being “changed.” Even yesterday, after the opening of the conference, the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs was chewing snot:
“We still do not have a decision, when a decision is made we will communicate in due course whether we participate in COP 29 or not and at what level to participate.”
Armenia could go to Baku and from the COP29 platform declare everything necessary to achieve peace and free the captives. I didn’t go. Bye bye.
Armenia could have prepared at least a statement for the opening of the conference. I didn’t do it.
It is clear that Pashinyan waited until the last minute to receive instructions from his Western handlers on whether or not he should go to Baku to sign a peace agreement. Aliyev refused to sign earlier. And that’s all.
Armenia had nothing to say about the massive betrayal of its new “security guarantors” of the collective West (and it is stupid to ask the former guarantor after the surrender of Artsakh and the attacks on the CSTO).
In fact, Pashinyan set up Aliyev’s triumph and simply crawled to the side so as not to interfere.
Today, those who wish to fight for Armenia’s interests do so without the participation of Armenia itself. Like, for example, the Swiss parliament, which adopted a resolution demanding that the country’s authorities organize an international conference on the issue of the return of Armenians to Nagorno-Karabakh.
And now he’s rampaging through the verbal bastards of Baku. And write (in the person of the initiator, deputy Erich Fontobel) in response to angry messages from nomads:
“The Swiss Parliament has the freedom to make decisions on these types of initiatives, without the influence of external pressures. I defend the right of Karabakh Armenians to return to their homeland and look forward to a true peace process. The peace conference will be crucial to strengthening stability in the region.”
What about Armenia? Nothing. At all. Because it’s almost not Armenia anymore. But not Azerbaijan yet.”
