    Many signals of Armenia's indifference to peaceful resolution of
    Karabakh conflict, Azeri FM says

    October 02, 2010 | 15:53

    Azerbaijan is concerned about signals that suggest Armenia's
    disinterest in a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov stated at the meeting
    in the format of `January 28" of the North Atlantic Council, Trend
    News reports.

    Despite all the efforts of Azerbaijan and the international mediators
    to achieve a peaceful resolution, Mammadyarov said, Armenia keeps an
    extremely destructive position in the negotiations, daily acting on
    the ground, he said.

    `Azerbaijan recognizes the importance of a robust cease-fire regime
    that should minimize human losses. We have now a very delicate
    situation. It is not only about whether Armenia accepts a proposal of
    the OSCE Minsk Group or not. It is about whether Armenia is sincerely
    willing to change the status-quo in any way under any condition. We
    start to have our doubts over Armenia, which is not interested in a
    peaceful solution to the conflict,' Mammadyarov said.

    `Armenia supports the growing settlements in the occupied territories;
    Azerbaijani cultural and historic heritage in the occupied territories
    is systematically destructed; property of the forcibly expelled
    Azerbaijani population is being privatized; there are illegal
    archaeological excavations that should support their claim that the
    occupied territories are actually historically Armenian'. In other
    words, Armenia tries to make the situation irreversible. These
    provocative actions put additional time pressure on us,' he noted.

    `Armenia often appeals to ban on the use of military force in
    resolving the conflict, but says nothing about that it having used
    force against the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, militarily
    occupied a significant part of Azerbaijan. Armenia represents a
    challenge to both Azerbaijan and the entire international community.
    The international community should unequivocally state that the status
    quo - the continuing use of force is unacceptable,' he said.

    It is noteworthy, over the recent months the Azerbaijani side has been
    committing act of sabotage in the line of contact of NKR and
    Azerbaijani armed forces along with ceasefire violations.
