Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said
that "the shameful deal on Safarov's extradition seriously jeopardized
the process of settlement of the Karabakh conflict".
The Minister said this speaking in World Affairs Council in Los
Angeles on September 24.
"Despite the efforts made by the mediators over the past four years,
15 high-level meetings, dozens of ministerial meetings, several dozens
of visits of Co-Chairs to the region and fixation of some progress
in negotiations it was impossible to achieve breaktrough as the
Azerbaijani side turned down all the proposals made by the mediators.
Not only does Azerbaijan ignore calls of the international community
but also neglects the values of the civilized world. The latest
manifestation of such a behavior by Azerbaijan was the pardon and
glorification of murderer Safarov which shocked the international
community.
There is not a single international organization, neither a single
state which would accept Azerbaijan's conduct. The response of the
international community to this disgraceful step is unambiguous and
unified - strong condemnation of the actions of the official Baku.
The shameful deal on Safarov's extradition seriously jeopardized the
Karabakh settlement as well as steps toward establishing stability and
security in the region. It's another step to fail endeavors undertaken
by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs.
Despite Azerbaijan's non-constructive steps, Armenia will continue
its efforts toward Karabakh settlement exclusively in peaceful ways,
based on the principles of international law, principles and goals
stated in the UN Charter", said Edward Nalbandyan.
