Helsinki. Tamara Grigoryeva - APA. "This meeting is being in the
symbolic place where the organization was founded.
We should once more confirm our devotion to the principles of the
Helsinki Final Act, recognize the principle of territorial integrity
and sovereignty of states against the background of the recent
happenings," Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at
the meeting OSCE Ministerial Council, APA's special correspondent
reports from Helsinki. The minister said OSCE had special role in
connection with the conflicts.
"We should use the organization's experience and potential in
the settlement of conflicts, management after conflicts and other
issues. We are a bit concerned over OSCE's tendency to focus only human
rights. We support more all-round and balanced agenda," he said. The
Foreign Minister noted that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict was a
serious source of instability and added that the Moscow Declaration
signed on November 2 was the important document. "Both presidents
have stated that they make efforts for political settlement of the
conflict within the framework of the international legal norms. The
solution process should create positive economic situation in whole
region. The declaration also envisages the strengthening of mutual
trust. One of the issues of primary significance is to maintain normal
life in Karabakh for both Armenians and Azerbaijanis and establish
cooperation and communication. I hope that Armenians also understand
and support our position".
