Armenia demonstrates non-constructive position, disrespects the principles of the international law and continues occupation-Azerbaijan's FMA
"Armenian Foreign Minister, who is manipulating with the history of establishment of OSCE Minsk Group, continues making provocative statements aiming to undermine peace talks and protract the settlement," spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elman Abdullayev told while commenting on the statement issued by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian regarding the 20th anniversary of the establishment of OSCE Minsk Group.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian issued a statement on March 24 regarding the 20th anniversary of the establishment of OSCE Minsk Group:
"If a breakthrough has not been achieved in the conflict settlement until today, it is not because of the lack of efforts by the Co-Chairs, but due to the non-constructive approach by one of the sides, which is consecutively rejecting the proposals made by the Co-Chairs, which is not refraining from the illusion of solving the issue through use of force, which is not willing to negotiate directly with Nagorno-Karabakh, a core party to the conflict."
Elman Abdullayev said OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries are the permanent members of the UN Security Council, which in 1993 passed four resolutions demanding unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
"Similar resolutions demanding withdrawal of Armenian army from the occupied Azerbaijani territories were also adopted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the European Parliament. All countries of the world, international organizations recognize Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity," Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry’s official said.
Elman Abdullayev said the statements issued by the presidents of Minsk Group Co-Chair countries in L’Aquila, Muskoka and Deauville underline inadmissibility of the status-quo.
"The Armenian minister must be reminded that the status-quo is – occupation, bloody ethnic cleansing and displacement of the local Azerbaijanis from their historical places," he said.
"Nalbandian, Foreign Minister of Armenia, whose aggression is confirmed by the whole world, demonstrates cunning, speaking about the Minsk Group he wants to blame someone, this is a barefaced lie," said Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry’s official and noted that Azerbaijan supports peaceful solution to the conflict, diplomatic opportunities have not exhausted yet.
"Armenia demonstrates non-constructive position, disrespects the principles of the international law and continues occupation," he said.
