Azerbaijan stands ready to respect rights of ethnic Armenians
of Nagorno-Karabakh on basis of international law: presidential
administration official
Azerbaijan is ready to respect the rights of ethnic Armenians of
Nagorno-Karabakh on the basis of international law.
"Azerbaijan originally stated resolutely that any attempt to impose the
solution of the conflict to the detriment of the territorial integrity
of the country will not be accepted by Azerbaijan. But we take into
account the real situation and the conditions for further life and
respect for the rights of ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. We are
prepared to respect their rights on the basis of international law,"
Chief of the Public and Political Department of the Presidential
Administration of Azerbaijan Ali Hasanov told reporters.
On Oct. 9, Moldova will host the next summit of the CIS. The next
round of talks between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia Ilham
Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan is expected to be held during the meetings.
The OSCE MG co-chairs will visit Azerbaijan in early October. In Baku,
the MG will work on preparing a meeting between the Presidents of
Azerbaijan and Armenia scheduled for October 10 in Chisinau, Yuri
Merzlyakov (Russia) told Trend News.
Hasanov said it is difficult to predict the results of talks between
presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Chisinau.
"Unfortunately, nonconstructive position of Armenia impedes
progress. Therefore, it is impossible to predict how the Armenian side
will behave at the meeting in Chisinau and subsequent meetings. There
have been cases where the issues on which agreements were reached were
once again raised at the next meeting as a problem and it prevented
the negotiation process," said the head of the department.
