Azerbaijan hindering Karabakh conflict resolution, Armenian minister says
Yerevan, 12 May: Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan said
today that Azerbaijan can't resist the temptation of settling the
Nagornyy Karabakh issue by force.
The minister said this in Yerevan today during his meeting with the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Robert Bradtke, Igor Popov, Jack Fore and
Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej
Kasprzyk.
Edvard Nalbandyan noted that the sides have had the opportunity to
come close to settling the conflict several times over the recent
years but each time Azerbaijan took a step back thus hindering
reaching an agreement.
"Over these years, Azerbaijan couldn't resist the temptation of
settling the problem by force and instead of preparing its people to
peace it continues its military rhetoric, provocations on the contact
line, keeps obtaining a huge number of weapons which impedes the
settlement process and poses a threat to the volatile situation in the
region," said the minister.
During the meeting, the need for fulfilling agreements contained in
the joint statement of the Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani
presidents after Sochi meeting held on 23 January - establishing a
mechanism of investigating incidents on the contact line in particular
- was also touched upon.
