Azerbaijanis from their historical places"
Baku. Viktoria Dementyeva - APA. "Armenian Foreign Minister, who is
manipulating with the history of establishment of OSCE Minsk Group,
continues making provocative statements aiming to undermine peace
talks and protract the settlement," spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry Elman Abdullayev told APA while commenting on the statement
issued by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian regarding the
20th anniversary of the establishment of OSCE Minsk Group.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian issued a statement on
March 24 regarding the 20th anniversary of the establishment of OSCE
Minsk Group: "If a breakthrough has not been achieved in the conflict
settlement until today, it is not because of the lack of efforts by
the Co-Chairs, but due to the non-constructive approach by one of
the sides, which is consecutively rejecting the proposals made by
the Co-Chairs, which is not refraining from the illusion of solving
the issue through use of force, which is not willing to negotiate
directly with Nagorno-Karabakh, a core party to the conflict."
Elman Abdullayev said OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries are the
permanent members of the UN Security Council, which in 1993 passed
four resolutions demanding unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian
armed forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
"Similar resolutions demanding withdrawal of Armenian army from the
occupied Azerbaijani territories were also adopted by the Organization
of Islamic Cooperation and the European Parliament. All countries
of the world, international organizations recognize Azerbaijan's
territorial integrity," Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's official said.
Elman Abdullayev said the statements issued by the presidents of
Minsk Group Co-Chair countries in L'Aquila, Muskoka and Deauville
underline inadmissibility of the status-quo.
"The Armenian minister must be reminded that the status-quo is -
occupation, bloody ethnic cleansing and displacement of the local
Azerbaijanis from their historical places," he said.
"Nalbandian, Foreign Minister of Armenia, whose aggression is
confirmed by the whole world, demonstrates cunning, speaking about
the Minsk Group he wants to blame someone, this is a barefaced lie,"
said Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's official and noted that Azerbaijan
supports peaceful solution to the conflict, diplomatic opportunities
have not exhausted yet.
"Armenia demonstrates non-constructive position, disrespects the
principles of the international law and continues occupation," he said.
