Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov made a speech at
the international conference "Basic principles of settlement of the
conflicts in GUAM countries" in Baku, APA reports.
Araz Azimov said that the most important issue was what steps would
be taken basing on the results of this conference.
"GUAM countries should unite their efforts for the settlement of the
conflicts in their territories. These conflicts should be solved basing
on the principles of the international law recognized by the world
community. This is the approach of GUAM countries to the settlement
of the conflicts and this position was agreed at the summit of GUAM
heads of state two years ago", he said.
Araz Azimov said GUAM countries should mobilize their forces to solve
the conflicts in their territories. He dismissed the misconception of
"frozen conflicts".
"By "frozen conflict", we mean the frozen situation, not the frozen
solution", he said.
Araz Azimov said Azerbaijan was always ready to ensure peace and
stability in its territory.
"Armenia's position consists of delaying the settlement of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. Ways of solution of this problem should be found.
These ways are political pressure, basing on the principles of
international law and unique position of the international community",
he said.
Araz Azimov said Azerbaijan was ready to continue the negotiations
on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict and did not refuse
dialogue.
