Minister Nalbandian visited the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, where he
delivered a speech on Armenia's foreign policy and Armenian-Austrian
relations. Touching upon the Karabakh issue, Minister Nalbandian
stated:
"While Armenia is speaking about peace, Azerbaijan is propagating war.
While we are proposing to come to an agreement on non-use of force,
Azerbaijan is boasting of the increase of its military budget. While
the international community is urging to reinforce the ceasefire,
Azerbaijan is violating the truce hundreds of times over a week and
organizing provocations at the line of contact. The international
community is declaring that there is no alternative to the peaceful
settlement, while Azerbaijan is insisting that peaceful settlement
does not mean non-use of force," Minister Nalbandian said.
"We are calling on international organizations and other countries
to support the steps taken by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and the
continuation of the talks with a view of finding a solution based on
mutual concessions. Azerbaijan is calling on everyone to assume an
anti-Armenian position, thus countering the approaches of the Minsk
Group Co-Chairs and attempting to take the negotiations to different
instances, thus harming the settlement process.
There is an impression that the only purpose of Azerbaijan is to lay
the responsibility on the opposite party.
Armenia has accepted the renewed proposals presented in Saint
Petersburg in June, in Astrakhan in October and in Moscow in December
as a basis for talks that should lead to a settlement. It means
that Armenia's position goes in line with that of the international
community, while Azerbaijan constantly proposes changes on a number
of issues," Minister Nalbandian said, adding that the international
community expects a clear answer to the question whether or not
Azerbaijan accepts the proposals on the bargaining table.
"We do hope that Azerbaijan will demonstrate necessary realism and
political to make it possible to move the settlement process forward,"
Edward Nalbandian stated.
