NO TALK OF WITHDRAWING KARABAKHI FORCES FROM ANY TERRITORY: KOCHARYAN RESPONDS TO MAMMADYAROV
Tert.am
09.07.10
Instead of speaking about the agreements reached among Armenian,
Azerbaijani and Russian presidents in Saint Petersburg, Azerbaijan's
Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov continues to present his baseless
wishes as reality, Armenia's Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan
told Tert.am, asked to comment on Mammadyarov's today's statement.
Earlier on Friday Azerbaijani Foreign Minister said that on July 15
or 16 a meeting is scheduled between Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev
when the main topic on the agenda, according to him, will be the
pull-out of Artsakhi troops from Lachin and Kelbajar - key regions
ensuring ground contact between Armenia and Artsakh.
"There can be no talk of any withdrawal of Karabakhi forces from any
territory unless Azerbaijan agrees to accept the status of Karabakh
based on the results of the expression of the will of Nagorno Karabakhi
people and unless it [Azerbaijan] expresses willingness to pull out
its troops from the occupied territories of the Republic of Nagorno
Karabakh," said Shavarsh Kocharyan.
