It's not important who and how one views the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh issue, but who decides how it should be resolved,
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said, commenting
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov's statement the
other day.
A couple of days ago, Mammadyarov had said that "our position is
clear. We see the future status of Nagorno-Karabakh within Azerbaijan,
with the condition of Azerbaijani and Armenian communities living
together. We must solve the problem of the occupied lands and the
return of refugees to their homes."
"It is also clearly mentioned in some details of the Madrid document
[Principles] immediately publicized after the statement made by
the presidents of Russia, US and France in L'Aquila [Italy]. If
Azerbaijan is against this fundamental approach, then, in fact, it
hampers the normalization process. It also hampers the normalization
[process] by being against Karabakh's participation in the talks,
as without Karabakh's direct participation, it is impossible to push
the normalization [process] forward," said Nalbandian.
Referring to the issue of eliminating the consequences of the conflict,
Nalbandian stressed the necessity in solving the issues of Martakert,
Martuni and Shahumyan - regions currently occupied by Azerbaijan,
as well as the return of refugees to those regions.
"Of course the issue of eliminating the consequences of the conflict
must be resolved together with the causes of the conflict. All these
issues must be solved through negotiation, on the basis of compromise,
and in a peaceful manner," concluded Nalbandian.
