    KHAZAR IBRAHIM: "AZERBAIJAN FULFILLS ALL PRINCIPLES OF THE HELSINKI FINAL ACT"

    Baku. Lachin Sultanova - APA. "Azerbaijan fulfills all principles of
    the OSCE Helsinki Final Act, but Armenia, on the contrary, rejects it",
    Khazar Ibrahim, press-secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    told journalists, APA reports.

    Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian stated that the
    negotiations over the solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict are
    held on the basis of Article 2, 4 and 8 of the Helsinki Final Act,
    but Azerbaijan reports on the negotiations on its own desire. Reacting
    to the Nalbandian's statement, Khazar Ibrahim reminded about those
    articles. "It is said in the Article 2 that the participating
    States will refrain from any acts constituting a threat of force
    or direct or indirect use of force against another participating
    State. Everyone knows that Armenia is acting against this Article and
    used force to occupy the territory of other state. On the other hand,
    with this statement Nalbandian directly acknowledged that not any
    forces in Nagorno Karabakh, as they claim it, but just Armenia is an
    occupier. Azerbaijan never threatened anyone by the force. We simply
    say that we will restore our internationally-recognized borders and
    territorial integrity".

    Khazar Ibrahim said Article 4 of the Helsinki Final Act was about
    the territorial integrity of the countries. "The participating
    States will likewise refrain from making each other's territory the
    object of military occupation or other direct or indirect measures
    of force in contravention of international law, or the object of
    acquisition by means of such measures or the threat of them, said in
    the document. Nalbandian and his country should fulfill these points
    in practice. A self-determination right, they frequently decline,
    was reflected in Article 8. It is clearly said in the document that
    the participating States will respect the equal rights of peoples and
    their right to self-determination, acting at all times in conformity
    just with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United
    Nations and with the relevant norms of international law, including
    those relating to territorial integrity of States". Khazar Ibrahim
    once more stated that Azerbaijan was loyal to the principles of
    Helsinki Final Act and international law.
