    AZERBAIJANI FOREIGN MINISTRY: IN CONTRAST TO WORDS, SERZH SARGSYAN'S ACTIONS ADVERSELY AFFECT FUTURE OF REGION'S PEOPLES

    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.
