Aliyev clan and Azerbaijan's fascist regime have robbed the country and in order to justify themselves in front of their own people they try to lay the blame on Armenia, demanding "compensation for the damage caused by war", David Babayan, Nagorno- Karabakh president's press secretary, told ArmInfo's correspondent, commenting on the information of Azerbaijani mass media of Baku's intention to demand compensation from Armenia "for loosing the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and communities adjacent to it".
"Azerbaijan will attempt to speculate on this nonexistent sum and will try to use this data in international structures. The current regime will try to hide the corruption showing the losses caused the war. This means Azerbaijan tries to kill two birds with one stone, to hide the plundering and to use this fact against Armenia", Babayan concluded.
To note, Azerbaijani mass media spread information that official Baku is ready to demand compensation from Armenia for loosing the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and communities adjacent to it during Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to raise this issue at the international level. The working group charged by the Azerbaijani government with assessing the damages inflicted on Azerbaijan from Armenia calculated that the total amount of material damage caused by Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan amounts to $818 billion. It was noted that the working group continues the work on calculating the damage. It is not ruled out that the mentioned amount can increase as a result.
In September 2012 Azerbaijani authorities came up with initiative to demand compensation from Armenia for the lost war. That time the compensation amounted to 431.5 bln USD.
