Settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is impossible without Armenian
withdrawal - Azerbaijani foreign minister
Settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is impossible without
withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories,
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said in an interview
with Trend.
Withdrawal is part of the updated Madrid Principles, which Armenia
does not refer to with responsibility, the minister says. He pointed
out that the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents and foreign ministers
met in 2011 to negotiate the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.
Mammadyarov blamed Armenia for scuppering the negotiations.
Concerning platforms for settling the conflict, the foreign minister
noted that Azerbaijan will doubtlessly raise the topic as a member of
the UN Security Council in 2012. The UN Security Council has already
passed four resolutions, and the European Parliament, CE and OIC have
passed their own resolutions, neglected by Armenia. The world
community should force Armenia to respect the norms and principles of
international law, Mammadyarov said.
