"Armenia has no territory to return to Azerbaijan," RPA Faction
member Gagik Melikyan told a press conference today, commenting upon
Azerbaijani leadership's bellicose statements and stance on Nagorno
Karabakh settlement negotiations.
According to the speaker, the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian
Foreign Ministers in Almaty and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing
countries' statement following the meeting is another evidence that
Baku keeps to carry out unconstructive policy in the negotiations.
"Azerbaijan determines new legal norms trying to force them on the
Armenian side - Nagorno Karabakh Armenians. It is unacceptable for
the international community, these decisions can have no influence
on anyone," the member of parliament said.
Touching upon statements constantly voiced by Azerbaijan, according to
which, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be resolved "if Azerbaijan's
territories are liberated" Mr. Melikyan stressed that Armenia has
never occupied any territory to return it now.
"These territories were liberated by Nagorno Karabakh people in the
war forced upon them and are an integral part of Nagorno Karabakh
Republic according to its Constitution, and this issue can be only
discussed with the Nagorno Karabakh authorities," he stressed.
The parliamentarian also spoke about Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov's statement - "is there a need for independent Artsakh,
since there is independent Armenia?" declaring: "And why should
the world need independent Azerbaijan, since there is independent
Turkey? What is Azerbaijan to reserve the right to dictate something?"
