Baku. Lachin Sultanova -APA. "We do not oblige Armenia to conduct
negotiations," Khazar Ibrahim, Spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry told APA.
Commenting on Vartan Oskanian's statement that adoption of resolution
in UN General Assembly can frozen the process of negotiations, he
said that Azerbaijan had settled for a compromise by conducting talks
Armenia for a long time.
"Neither domestic nor foreign factors give chance to Armenia to make
such terms. The country declared the state of emergency, media was
imposed strict censorship, protest actions killed many people and
political situation is very tense. On the other hand, international
community voiced its position with the adoption of the resolution
in UN General Assembly," he said. Touching upon doubtful status of
Vartan Oskanian after the elections, he noted that Armenia should
estimate the situation and take constructive steps, instead of
giving groundless statements. Then, Azerbaijan can think about the
continuation of the talks.
"They cannot make term with Azerbaijan. If there is a term, Azerbaijan
will take proper steps", he said.
