Baku. Victoria Dementieva - APA. "The current "status-quo" in Nagorno
Karabakh issue is not only inadmissible, but also dangerous for
Azerbaijan", said Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov in a joint press
conference with Finnish FM Erkki Tuomioja, APA reports.
Minister said that the elections in Armenia and some co-chairing
countries delay the negotiations process: "But it doesn't mean that
the process will stop completely".
Mammadyarov reminded that the last statement of foreign ministers
of the co-chairing countries called the sides to demonstrate the
political will: "There is necessary legal base for the settlement
of the conflict and this base is enough strong. The conflict must
be settled on the basis of international legal norms. The conflict's
settlement is a long process. But I am sure that we can achieve it".
Commenting on the issue on replacement of France with European Union
in OSCE Minsk Group, Mammadyarov said that there was no such mechanism
and added that he couldn't answer instead of EU and France.
In his turn, Erkki Tuomioja noted that Finland supported the efforts
of the Minsk Group and rapid settlement of the conflict on the basis
of international legal norms.
