Armenian Defense Ministry calls on Baku to stop militant statements
YEREVAN July 22
The Armenian Defense Ministry has urged Azeri colleagues to stop
making militant statements and escalating tensions.
"We recommend the Azeri defense minister's press secretary not to fall
into temptation, to avoid wishful thinking, to stop making
irresponsible militant statements and threatening war, and not to
escalate tensions with misinformation," says the ministry statement
received by Interfax-AVN.
Such policy not only disagrees with the spirit of negotiations and
hampers the Karabakh settlement process and the establishment of
regional peace but also causes tensions along the Armenian-Azeri line
of contact, the ministry said.
The ministry refuted Azeri media reports claiming that the interview
with Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian had been allegedly
removed from the Interfax-AVN website.
There is no other way to resolve the Karabakh conflict but to restore
the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, and Baku has the right to
achieve this goal with any methods, Azeri Defense Ministry spokesman
Eldar Sabiroglu told Interfax earlier, in comments on the interview of
the Armenian defense minister.
