"Nagorno Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan and naturally
we do not trade with our territory", said spokesman of Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim, commenting on the state of Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan that Karabakh is an Armenian land.
"On the other hand I do not know which concepts the Armenian president
adheres to but both legally and historically Nagorno Karabakh has been
a part of Azerbaijan and this is recognized by the world community",
noted the representative of the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan.
He said Sargsyan seems to have tried to find the recognition to the
"element, not recognized by Azerbaijan and the world community".
"On the other hand, there is no concept of "Nagorno Karabakh people",
there is a population of Nagorno Karabakh, which consists of the
Armenian and Azerbaijani communities. The Nagorno Karabakh status
will be defined by the Constitution of Azerbaijan", noted Ibrahim.
According to him, this statement of the Armenian President does not
comply with the essence of talks and proposals.
"This statement does not promote settlement and on the other hand the
international community and especially the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
must react to such statements seriously", concluded Ibrahim.
