[ 29 Mar 2008 19:31 ]
Baku. Mahbuba Gasimbayli-APA. `No one can threaten Azerbaijan with
the statements to break off the negotiations on the settlement of
Nagorno Karabakh conflict,' taking a stance on Armenian Foreign
Minister Vardan Oskanyan's statement that the probability of breaking
off the negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia increases,
spokesman for Defense Ministry Eldar Sabiroghlu told APA.
Asked whether breaking off the negotiations may increase the
probability of war Eldar Sabiroghllu said Armenia's statements of
blackmailing character would make the situation more complicated.
`War is not a desirable event. It means new slaughters and new
bloodshed. Aggressive Armenia should understand it. Nagorno Karabakh
conflict remains unsolved and causes trouble for the region because
of their fault. Therefore, war may be real despite any situation in
connection with the conflict,' he said.
According to the spokesman, Azerbaijani territories remain under
occupation and being the side undergoing aggression it is our right
to free them.
`No one can prohibit it. The factors nearing the war are obvious.
Armenia's statements of blackmailing character make the situation
more complicated. That's why, peaceful solution to Nagorno Karabakh
conflict should be taken into consideration. Unfortunately, OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairing countries made the settlement of the conflict
more complicated, when they cast doubt on the just resolution of the
UN General Assembly on the `Situation in the occupied Azerbaijani
territories'. They showed that they took side with Armenia and
supported the aggressor. UN had adopted the resolution demanding
unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian forces from Azerbaijani
territories and envisaging the settlement of the conflict with
mediation of OSCE Minsk Group. In fact, it meets the interests of
both sides and the entire mankind. This is the most effective and
just way to prevent the war. This is the essence of the peaceful
resolution of the UN. But Minsk Group co-chairing countries left the
resolution aside and chose a more dangerous way. They added fuel to
the fire instead of solving the conflict. How could it be that the UN
sanctions and resolutions are effective when they are in favor of
them, and the resolution on Azerbaijan is ineffective? Is it just?
The co-chairing countries showed what double standards are. No one
can threaten us with statements to break off the negotiations,' he
said.
Eldar Sabiroghlu noted that Azerbaijan would never agree to the
occupation of its territories and would restore its territorial
integrity at any cost.
`Azerbaijan's mighty state, unanimous people and strong army make the
realization of our wish available. It is not too far,' he said.
