/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani Defense Minister's statements on
resolution of the Karabakh conflict by use of force is mere blackmail
aimed to destabilize talks, Armenia's Foreign Minister said.
"To respond to these warlike statements would mean to tense the
situation on the threshold of the presidential meeting. We stand for
peaceful process and understand that it's dictated by interests of
the Armenian and Azeri people. However, the problem can't be resolved
under Azerbaijan's constant militaristic rhetoric," Edward Nalbanidian
told a news conference in Yerevan.
The Minister reminded that in 2001, after the Key West talks, the
sides were close to resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. "It
did not happen because Azerbaijan said its population was not ready
for settlement. According to recent social surveys, 29 per cent of
Azeris stand for resolution of the conflict by use of force. 82 per
cent disapprove the OSCE Minsk Group activities. I do not know any
other country where so many people could speak out for war. It's
absurd to condemn the countries wiling to help peaceful resolution
of the conflict," Mr Nalbandian underscored.
