"We are holding this meeting in a symbolic place, where the basis of
this organization was laid. We must reaffirm our adherence to the
principles of the Helsinki act. We must recognize the principle of
territorial integrity of the states and their sovereignty in the
context of the latest events", said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Elmar Mamedyarov speaking at the session of the Foreign Ministers of
the OSCE states.
"Azerbaijan considers that OSCE plays a special role in the issue of
conflicts. OSCE has a great experience in the resolution of conflicts,
in the post-conflict management, but it is necessary to use the whole
potential. We are currently observing a tendency when OSCE refers
only to the issue of human rights and we are concerned a little bit
about it, as we are for balanced agenda.
The conflict in Karabakh remains the main and serious source of
instability. The declaration was signed on November 2. We consider it
to be an important document. The Presidents of our countries declared
that they will strive for the political resolution of the conflict
in the framework of international law. All documents of international
law stress the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan as a basis.
The resolution must create a good economic situation in the whole
region. The declaration speaks of the increase in trust. It is
important to ensure normal life of both Azerbaijanis and Armenians in
Karabakh and establish cooperation and communication. We hope that
Armenians understand our position and also support it", concluded
Mamedyarov.
