"Armenia will answer for its illegal steps"
"Any activity causing economic and infrastructural changes in the
occupied Azerbaijani territories is illegal. In this respect, the
initiatives to construct a road in Kalbajar region contradicts Geneva
Convention," Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov said,
APA reports.
Deputy Minister said it was not the first illegal step taken by
Armenia.
"Armenia must know that it will have to answer for such steps. A day
will come when they will answer," he said.
Commenting on assessment of the Kazan meeting by Armenian officials,
Araz Azimov regarded it as wrong.
"Armenian officials blame Azerbaijan for unsuccessful Kazan meeting. I
think, there must be a different approach to this issue. In January,
2010, Armenian President Serzh Sargzyan rejected the updated Madrid
principles called Madrid-2 version prepared by OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairing countries. After that, one of the co-chairs put forward
some proposals, but they were not accepted by Azerbaijan. As I have
mentioned, Armenia rejected Madrid-2 document, which is in the basis
of the process of resolution.
So, Armenian officials' claims concerning the Kazan meeting are false
and aim to distract attention from the truth. I would like Armenia to
look back at last year's situation. We can submit the draft document
if they want. The co-chairs can also give the draft document to them.
I think, Armenia itself must assess the situation," he said.
