YEREVAN, MAY 10, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandyan, who participates in the works of the meeting of foreign
ministers of Non-Aligned Movement in Sharm El-Sheikh, has delivered
a speech on May 10, Foreign Affairs Ministry press service told
Armenpress.
In his address the minister said he is glad to return to Egypt,
where he has lived and worked for 14 years. Being an observer of
the Non-Aligned Movement, Armenia shares the organization's merits,
based on the goals and principles of the UN Charter.
Referring to the Nagorno Karabakh issue, Edward Nalbandyan said
Azerbaijan became a member of the movement only a year ago, and
already is attempting to mislead the member states of the organization,
taking them against the positions of international community.
"All of you understand the propagating nature of today's
statement voiced by Azerbaijani FM, which does not need additional
interpretation," he said, adding it contradicts the logic, the spirit
and formulations of the negotiation process, which are reflected
in the statements adopted by OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries -
Russia, France, US, in L'Aquila, Muskoka and Deauville.
These documents highlight 3 international principles - non-application
of force, self-determination right of peoples and territorial integrity
as key elements of Nagorno Karabakh settlement.
Unfortunately, the 382nd paragraph ignores the self-determination
right of peoples and does not use internationally accepted "Nagorno
Karabakh issue" wording, Edward Nalbandyan said.
"Similar approach does not only threaten the negotiation process
and the shaky situation in the conflict zone, but also the basic
principles of the countries of the Non-Aligned Movement. Beginning
from its foundation day the self-determination right of people has
been and remains one of the cornerstones of the organization.
The violation of fundamental norms of the international law and of
the gained agreements has become a usual thing for Azerbaijan. In that
regard it is not strange for anyone that Azerbaijan, appearing to be
a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, continues violating "Bandung
Principles", propagating "discrimination and national hatred, or
else how we can describe the Azerbaijani leadership's statements that
"Armenians are Azerbaijan's number one enemy," said Edward Nalbandyan.
