realize his words
[ 20 May 2006 16:17 ]
Director of Azerbaijani President's Office department for
international relations, Novruz Mammadov held a press conference
related to the recent statements on Azerbaijan made by former Russian
co-chair (until 1996) of OSCE Minsk Group Vladimir Kazimirov (APA).
Mammadov said that Kazimirov have Armenian relations and he has
financial relations with Armenians stressing that confidence in the
Russian diplomat was lost in 1992-93. Mammadov also noted that at
times Kazimirov made biased statements on Azerbaijan and sometimes he
even forged relevant international documents when he was sponsored by
Armenians.
`He even tells a lie by saying that the principle of nations
determining their fates is same with the principle of territorial
integrity of states according to the UN Convention of 1948.
Kazimirov's statements are contrary to diplomatic ethic. I think he
has gone mad, he is too old to comprehend what he says,' the
President's Office official said.
Mammadov also noted that Kazimirov's such statements may hinder the
process of settlement of the Nagorno Garabagh problem. On the other
hand, stating that these statements are false, the department
director considers as the parties to the conflict do not take into
account these false statements, these factors will not have negative
impact on the settlement process.
`I don't think these opinions coincide with Russia's official foreign
policy. We have less belief that the old Kazimirov will have strong
logic,' he said.
According to Kazimirov's recent statement the Pan-Armenian
Information Agency reported, the then Azerbaijani President Heydar
Aliyev meant liberation of the surrounding regions of Nagorno
Garabagh not just the entire Nagorno Garabagh. Stating that the
Garabagh problem had negative psychological impact on Azerbaijanis,
Kazimirov stressed that the problem cannot possibly be solved for the
benefit of Azerbaijan./APA/
