"Simply to clarify the point: I did not make this statement,"
wrote Amanda Paul, a policy analyst with the Brussels-based European
Policy Centre, referring to a recent article published by Aze.az and
responding to a request by Epress.am for comments.
As previously reported, Aze.az reported that Paul stated negotiations
on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have stalled because the international
community does not put pressure on Armenia. According to the
Azerbaijan-based news source, Paul reportedly said since the OSCE
Minsk Group's efforts have not yet led to any results, Azerbaijan
has the right to choose a military solution to the conflict.
Paul, however, refuted the statements:
"I would never make such a blunt statement along these lines. I
have said that Azerbaijan is dedicated to resolving the conflict by
peaceful means, hence its continuing presence at the table. I guess
the translator has misunderstood what I have said. Furthermore, I
was actually never asked about Azerbaijan's intention to solve this
conflict militarily," she wrote in an email.
