YEREVAN.- Azerbaijan has recently rejected at least four arrangements,
Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian said during a press conference with
Russian FM Sergey Lavrov.
Commenting on Baku's constant appeals to the resolutions of the UN
Security Council, Nalbandian said they were adopted back in 1993 and
contained calls to stop hostilities and sign a ceasefire agreement.
After each resolution Azerbaijan intensified the military actions
suffering defeats of the local Armenian forces, the Minister said.
It was an overwhelming defeat, not the UN demand, that urged Baku to
ask Karabakh to sign a ceasefire agreement. This fact is mentioned
in the book of Russian Ambassador Kazimirov, due to his efforts the
agreement was signed.
Nowadays, the chapter on reaching agreement is turned over. Today the
sides are engaged in the settlement process. According to Nalbandian,
the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group are not referring to these
resolutions, as the documents called for ceasefire and had nothing
with the settlement process.
The Armenian Foreign Minister pointed out Russian President's efforts
into reconciliation of the positions adding that certain progress has
been reached so far. The progress is reflected in the Sochi statement
issued by presidents of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan.
As to the status quo, Azerbaijanis interpret it as a return of the
territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh.
However, the Co-Chairs repeatedly stated all the principles and
elements proposed as the basis for a settlement, are worked out as
a whole, and none of them can be separated, as in this case you can
not reach a settlement.
Edward Nalbandian stressed that Azerbaijan has rejected at least four
suggestions of the OSCE Minsk Group which speaks of Baku's true desire.
