The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
supports the joint statement of the Presidents of Russia, the USA,
and France on the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict issued in Los Cabos.
We always had a positive attitude to such initiatives aimed at a
peaceful solution to the issue, taking into account all the principles
of international law, and reaffirm our readiness to follow the
appeals and recommendations of the leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairing states.
At the same time, we have to state that the Azerbaijani party
continues to interpret the statement of the mediators in a way
favorable for itself and to set pre-conditions, thus torpedoing these
initiatives. Azerbaijan continues to boycott the implementation of
key confidence-building measures in the region, such as elaboration
of corresponding mechanisms for investigating the incidents at the
borderline, withdrawal of snipers from the contact-line, and others.
Unfortunately, official Baku hasn~Rt refused yet of the initially
assumed force method of solving the conflict. Azerbaijan, representing
a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, the responsibilities
of which include fighting for the security in the region, refuses of
civilized ways of solving the issue.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
expresses hope that this time the authorities of Azerbaijan
will display constructivism and abandon their futile policy of
military-force blackmail and sabotage threatening the fragile regional
security and stability.
We believe that only through a political dialogue, with the equal
participation of the Nagorno Karabakh party, it is possible to achieve
progress in the negotiations on the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict
settlement and to establish lasting peace in the region.
