On April 4 Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandyan met
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Finland Erkki Tumioja. Press service
of Armenian MFA informs about this.
Minister Nalbandyan welcomed the guest and said: "Armenia rates
multilateral relations with Armenia and I am sure that this visit will
be another stimulus for two countries to expand and develop relations."
Finnish MFA noted that he was happy to visit Yerevan and continue
dialogue for various spheres of cooperation.
Ministers Nalbandyan and Tumioja underlined with satisfaction that both
sides were eager to expand the cooperation and noted that political
will is needed for it.
Armenian and Finnish Ministers of Foreign Affairs referred to the
cooperation between Armenia and the EU and spoke about the programs
in this format. Reforms in Armenia, coming parliamentarian elections
were also on agenda.
Erkki Tumioja presented the electoral processes in Finland. Some
regional and international issues were also touched upon during the
meeting. Minister Nalbandyan presented the last developments of the
NK issue settlement process.
After the meeting two Ministers of Foreign Affairs held a joint
press-conference.
During the press conference Armenian MFA welcomed the journalists
and presented the results of the meeting with his Finnish counterpart.
After it he answered to the questions.
"Azerbaijani authorities try to make the foreign guests in Azerbaijan
speak about NK issue and underline the principle of the territorial
integrity. What do You think which is the aim of such attempts?",
Edward Nalbandyan was asked.
"Unfortunately it is really so. Baku always tries to make blackmail
against the foreign officials and get unilateral formulations about
Nagorno Karabakh issue settlement.
It is obvious that such attempts will not be useful for the NK
issue settlement process. But one thing is obvious as well: nations'
self-identification is not only an international principle but also
is one of the main aims of the international society. This principle
exists in the base of the NK issue settlement which is presented by
the OSCE MG co-chairs with the other principles. All announcements
and decisions on the issue underline the importance of the nations'
self-identification and three Presidents have announced for many
times that Nagornoo Karabakh people must decide its destiny and its
future status.
All those attempts by Azerbaijan do not aim to settle NK issue but
they aim to cheat the international society. This is not useful for
the settlement process.
But we hope that the negotiations will be continued due to the
international society and three Presidents. We hope that a solution
will be found which will take into consideration the principles
of nations' self-identifications, non-use of the force and the
territorial integrity".
