ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY COMMENTS ON AZERI FOREIGN MINISTRY
STATEMENT
YEREVAN, AUGUST 6, ARMENPRESS: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Armenia dismissed Azerbaijan's most recent efforts to divert
attention from its unwillingness to negotiate a lasting peace. It
said in a statement that whether complaining about Karabakh's
peaceful, legal, democratic elections, or whether making disparaging
remarks about the people of Nagorno Karabakh and their continued
readiness to defend themselves, their families and their property,
should Azerbaijan's belligerent rhetoric go beyond mere words, these
statements simply result in a continuation of the atmosphere of
distrust and cynicism.
"In the face of such unproductive discourse, Armenia continues to
be prepared to participate in international organizations' efforts in
the region, particularly in the upcoming NATO / PfP exercises well as
to continue to remain engaged in the search for a peaceful resolution
to the conflict," it said.
