withdrew from the agreements reached within many years"
Baku. Rashad Suleymanov - APA. "At the recent meeting of Azerbaijani
and Armenian presidents Armenia withdrew from the agreements reached
within many years. The co-chairing states had to ignore the subjects
of the international law," second secretary of the Security Problems
Department of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elchin Huseynli said
while addressing the international conference entitled "Establishing
relations across borders" organized by GUAM Parliamentary Assembly
and Baltic Assembly, APA reports. Elchin Huseynli said Armenia commits
illegal actions in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
"Armenia conducts the so-called elections, events in the territories
of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani cultural monuments are destroyed. They even
attempt to involve the companies from the co-chairing countries. Baku
will never allow this," he said.
According to him, the European Union has double-headed approach
to the conflicts in the region: "The European Union recognized the
territorial integrity of one country in the region and shows different
approach to another one. It doesn't honor anyone when they recognize
the territorial integrity of one country, but turned a blind eye to
the violation of territorial integrity of another one".
The diplomat said that Azerbaijan could play a role in energy supply of
the European Union: "Otherwise, more dramatic situation can appear,
Europe can fall into position of dependence from another country
in the energy supply. The developments in August, 2008 were a great
danger for the region. Everybody must draw a lesson from it".
Reminding that Azerbaijan and Georgia participated in the establishment
of GUAM, Huseynli noted that Armenia was a member of Collective
Security Treaty Organization: "Armenia's relations with Russia
cause the instability in the region. Armenia, which is the smallest
country in the region, has important military and political agreement
with Russia. The conflicts in the regions seriously interrupt the
development of the region. If these conflicts are settled, the
South Caucasus will turn into developed region from the economic
standpoint. Azerbaijan's position is known - the joint projects are
out of the question until the conflicts in the region are settled".
