Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian issued a statement
regarding the joint statement of the Presidents of the OSCE Minks
Group Co-Chair countries, Barack Obama (US), Francois Hollande (France)
and Vladimir Putin (Russia), issued Monday during the G-20 Summit in
the Mexican city of Los Cabos.
"We highly appreciate the efforts of the heads of OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairing countries - Russia, the United States and France -
targeted at the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The Los Cabos statement issued by Presidents Vladimir Putin, Barack
Obama and Francoise Hollande is the fourth statement on Nagorno
Karabakh adopted by the heads of OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairing
countries, which can promote the negotiation process.
Armenia is united with the co-chairing countries and is resolute to
settle the issue exceptionally in a peaceful way.
Like Russia, the United States and France, we regret that that despite
the calls of the Deauville statement of May 26, 2011, we failed to
achieve progress at the Kazan summit of June 24, 2011 because of
Azerbaijan's non-constructive and maximalist position.
Committed to the agreements reached by the Presidents of Armenia,
Russia and Azerbaijan on January 23, 2012 in Sochi, Armenia will
continue its efforts towards progress on the Principles of conflict
settlement.
Like the co-chairing countries, we have urged on many occasions to
respect the ceasefire agreement reached in 1994 and refrain from
bellicose statements that incite tension. Unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan
has always rejected and continues to reject the proposals of the
co-chairing countries targeted at the reinforcement of the ceasefire
regime, namely withdrawal of snipers from the line of contact,
creation of mechanisms for investigation of ceasefire violations
and border incidents. Azerbaijan last did it during the visit of the
OSCE Chairman-in-Office a week ago. Azerbaijan not only turns down
the proposals, but also grossly violates the ceasefire and continues
to organize provocations.
Unlike Azerbaijan, Armenia has declared on many occasions that it is
ready to continue the negotiations on the basis of the statements of
the leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries adopted in
L'Acquila, Muskoka, Deauville and Los Cabos to reach a final solution."
