PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met
with OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Robert Bradtke, Igor Popov, Jacques
Faure and the Personal Representative of OSCE Chairperson-in-Office
Andrzej Kasprzyk in Warsaw.
At the meeting, the parties discussed possible solutions to Karabakh
conflict and implementation of settlement-related presidential
agreements reached January 2012 in Sochi.
In this context, Mr Nalbandian touched upon Baku's military rhetoric
and actions, running counter to Sochi agreements. As the Minister
noted, Azeri-voiced anti-Armenian and racist rhetoric is detrimental
to favorable negotiation environment, Foreign Ministry press service
reported.
On April 3, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev called Armenians
"fascists" during a plenary sitting of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly
in Baku. The statement sparked resentment of the Armenian delegation
which dubbed it improper and beyond diplomatic norms. Representative
of Euronest delegation and other countries also expressed discontent
with Aliyev's conduct.
