It is glad to hear that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan at least in
words began to care about the future of the region and its people,
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev told Trend
commenting on Sargsyan's recent statements.
"Unfortunately, in practice Armenian authorities' efforts for stability
and prosperity of the region are not felt. President Sargsyan hampers
development of the region with his destructive approach to the peace
process over Nagorno-Karabakh," he said.
In contrast to words, Sargsyan's actions adversely affect the future
of the region's peoples, Abdullayev said.
Armenia will continue constructive activities within the OSCE Minsk
Group in the context of the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in his congratulatory
letter on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of establishment
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Armenian presidential press service told
Novosti-Armenia Agency.
"Being deeply interested in the Karabakh conflict resolution, Armenia
will continue its positive and constructive activities within the
OSCE Minsk Group in the context of the peaceful resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for the benefit of stability and security
in our region, for a better future for our peoples," Sargsyan said.
"The Armenian leadership should seriously think about the future
of the region, the future of Armenia itself and its people and to
demonstrate constructivism and pragmatism in its approach to the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution," Abdullayev said.
Resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is an essential condition
for the development of the region and its economic prosperity,
he underlined.
"Desire for stability and security in the South Caucasus should
not only consist in rhetoric. The region's prosperity depends on
political will of the Armenian authorities to resolve the conflict
and on specific actions that have not been taken by Yerevan yet,"
Abdullayev said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
