Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov has made statements
about the Azerbaijani view of the process of settlement and the
resolution of the Karabakh conflict. Asked to comment on the
statements, Armenian Deputy Foraging Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said:
"It has already become usual for the Azerbaijani side to make
statements preceding the presidential meetings with a view of hindering
the progress that could be expected from those meetings.
According to Mr. Azimov's comprehension of international law, the
perpetration of ethnic cleansing against a self-determined people,
the organization of terrorist acts with involvement of militants,
the launching of a large-scale aggression against Nagorno Karabakh
that resulted in a thousands of human and material losses, and the
unsuccessful attempts to lay the burden on Armenia correspond standards
of international law.
Unless Azerbaijan refuses from its militant statements, the propagation
of ethnic hatred, and the non-constructive statements severely
violating the international law, unless they realize that according
to the norms and provisions of international law, it's he people of
Artsakh that should determine the status of Nagorno Karabakh, it's
obvious that they are using the negotiations as a cover for their
groundless propaganda."
