    Ilham Aliyev's statements are evidence to the fact that Azerbaijan
    isn't ready to settle a constructive dialogue towards the peaceful
    resolution of the conflict, Armenia vice FM Shavarsh Kocharyan declared
    today commenting on Azerbaijani President's statements.

    It's worth reminding that yesterday Azerbaijan's Aliyev announced that
    they've given their agreement to updated version of Madrid principles
    and stated that the basic round of negotiations over NK conflict are
    over and that Azerbaijan managed not to yield his positions.

    Commenting on that statement, Shavarsh Kocharyan said: "Mister Aliyev
    makes a monologue about an unreal dialogue. According to his monologue
    Azerbaijan has already finished the negotiations held within itself
    and what they've gained fix Azerbaijan's interests. We're sure they
    are unable to make agreements with themselves also. After getting
    his heritage of local power, Aliyev authorized him talking on behalf
    of time, international law, intermediates and Armenian and Artsakh
    people."

    Regarding Aliyev's statement that Nagorno-Karabakh's status beyond
    Azerbaijan is unacceptable, Mister Kocharyan said: "Baku pretends
    that they don't understand absence of an alternative way for
    Nagorno-Karabakh independence. The Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh
    is a state corresponding to international norms which was able to
    persist Azerbaijan's policy of ethnic expel and aggression. Azerbaijan
    recognized NKR independence in 1994 when they signed ceasefire with
    that state."

    Concluding his speech, Shavarsh Kocharyan underscored: "President
    Aliyev's statement is evidence to the fact that they are not ready
    to constructive dialogue."

    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 on of the basic principles of the
    international law non-use of force or threat of force.
