Azerbaijan backpedals Karabakh talks' progress: RA MFA
15:20 / 03/19/2010 Azerbaijan backpedals progress in the talks by
shutting the door upon negotiations with Nagorno-Karabakh, however it
will not avoid facing consequences of its actions of unleashed
aggression, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan stated
commenting on Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov's recent
statement.
`Mr. Mammadyarov presented the results he can achieve if holds talks
with himself, and if only Azerbaijan drafts and signs a peace treaty
with itself. Obviously, Azerbaijani FM's recent statement is another
fruitless attempt to justify the aggression against self-determined
NKR under Azerbaijan's constitution by gross violation of the UN
Charter. The constitution was adopted after the ceasefire agreement
and has nothing to do with Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, which has its
own Constitution,' Kocharyan noted.
March 18, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister stated that all Azeri citizens
should attend the referendum on determining status for
Nagorno-Karabakh, conducted on the territory of Azerbaijan, adding
that Nagorno-Karabakh participation in the talks conflicts with OSCE
Minsk Group principles.
The Nagorno-Karabakh (armed) conflict broke out back in 1991, when,
subsequent to the demand for self-determination of the
Nagorno-Karabakh people, Azerbaijani authorities attempted to resolve
the issue through ethnic cleansings, carried out by Soviet security
forces (KGB special units) under the pretext of the implementation of
the passport regime and by launching of large-scale military
operations, which left thousands dead and caused considerable material
damage. A cease-fire agreement was established in 1994. Negotiations
on the settlement of the conflict are being conducted under the
mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen (Russia, USA, France)
and on the basis of their Madrid proposals, presented in November,
2007.
Azerbaijan has not yet implemented the 4 resolutions of the UN
Security Council adopted in 1993, by continuing to provoke arms race
in the region and openly violating one of the basic principles of the
international law non-use of force or threat of force.
