Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has blamed the Armenian lobby and
the mediators for the deadlock in the Karabakh peace talks.
"The Armenian lobby and their protectors in the world, as well as
the inaction of the mediators [OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs for the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict] do not create conditions for the
resolution of the issue," Baku-based private APA news agency quoted
Ilham Aliyev as saying on 2 April.
The president made the remarks during the inauguration of a new
settlement near Baku for Azerbaijani IDPs from the breakaway Nagornyy
Karabakh.
Aliyev went on to say that the UN resolutions on the Karabakh conflict
had not been implemented due to double standards.
"[UN] Resolutions passed on other issues are promptly implemented. But
when it comes to us, the Karabakh [issue] has not been resolved for 20
years and all we hear is that it should be resolved in a peaceful way.
Why? Because there are double standards," the news agency quoted the
Azerbaijani president as saying.
