Remarks by Azeri ambassador to Russia instigate use of force in
setting Karabakh conflict - CSTO
MOSCOW Jan 30
Azeri Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu's statement that the Azeri
diaspora abroad should join the effort to liberate the occupied lands
is in fact instigating a military resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)
Secretariat said in a statement on Wednesday.
"The ambassador's remarks can be interpreted as disbelief in political
and diplomatic settlement methods and instigating a military
resolution of the problem. It is especially strange to hear from a
prominent artistic figure, a man of art, whose ideals should be
harmony and peace," it said.
The ambassador's words "contain an unambiguous call for the use of
force, which does not help find constructive solutions to the Nagorno-
Karabakh conflict," the CSTO Secretariat said.
"It appears that this policy would lead to more tensions in the
situation in the region and runs counter to the efforts being made by
the OSCE Minsk Group and the context of negotiations between the
presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan," it said.
The OSCE, "as well as other international institutions, has repeatedly
declared its commitment to a peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and is continuing to support efforts being
made within the OSCE framework to accomplish its political
resolution," it said.
Azerbaijan's ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu earlier said in an
interview with the ANS television channel that the Azeri diaspora
abroad must join the country's citizens in freeing the occupied lands.
"The time has come to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Every
Azerbaijani must participate in the liberation of the lands," the
ambassador said. "If someone is going to stay at home while the army
is fighting for the occupied lands - it is not the way it should be.
The whole country, the whole public, the whole nation must stand up
and, united as a fist, support its president and liberate the lands.
There can be no other way," he said.
