Elmar Mammadyarov: Armenia can’t keep our citizens as hostages and should release

"Armenia is out of all projects due to its occupation policy and will keep being so, unless withdraws its troops from occupied territories of Azerbaijan." Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov told at press conference after meeting with his Turkish counterpart, SIA informs.

According to Azerbaijani FM, Mr. President during his speech in Munich, openly questioned Armenian representative why Armenian soldiers are in Aghdam. We stress at the discussions with co-chairs that the issue is not about violation of cease fire. Armenia should unambiguously withdraw its forces from occupied regions of Azerbaijan. There are 4 resolutions of the UN Security Council. Also there are certain documents of OSCE and other international organizations on the conflict. So, this is a demand of international law. Unfortunately, some resolutions of UN Security Council are implemented immediately; while others remain unfulfilled. But we are confident about the resolution of the conflict and the restoration of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

"Release of our citizens is always high on the agenda. Victoria Nuland and the co-chairs put the issue forward in Yerevan. Special Representative of the European Union Ambassador Salber also raises this issue. Armenia can’t keep our citizens as hostages and should release and return them to Azerbaijan. I am totally sure that the release of our citizens is just a matter of time and we will achieve it." stressed Mr Mammadyarov.
