"If Armenian troops are withdrawn from the occupied territories,
there will be no need in snipers and the children will not be killed"
"Despite uncoordinated issues in the process of negotiations on the
settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the start of work on a large
peace agreement would be a signal of peace intentions of both sides",
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov said,
APA reports.
Mammadyarov said he couldn't meet with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
during their recent visit to the region because he was on a foreign
trip. Minister noted that the negotiations on the settlement of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict are continued. "The negotiations are going on and
of course, no one hopes that the conflict will be settled within a
day. The negotiations should move step-by-step. We many times offered
to the co-chairs to start the talks on a large peace agreement".
Touching upon the co-chairs' statement on incidents in the contact
line between the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops, Mammadyarov said: "A
child was killed as a result of ceasefire violation by the Armenians.
The people living near the contact line in Azerbaijan are in danger.
Azerbaijan's position is that to solve the problem, at first,
Armenian troops must be withdrawn from the occupied territories. If
Armenian troops are withdrawn, there will be no need in snipers and
the children will not be killed. We told the co-chairs about it many
times. At least, Armenian troops must be withdrawn from the occupied
seven regions of Azerbaijan in the first phase".
