AZERBAIJAN SHOULDN'T REJECT RECOMMENDATIONS OF OSCE MINSK GROUP: ARMENIAN FM
YEREVAN, April 25./ARKA/. Azerbaijan should not reject the
recommendations of the OSCE Minsk Group related to following the main
principles for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, Armenia's
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said Thursday at a news conference
in Moscow.
"If the Azerbaijani side really wants to maintain status quo, it should
not, possibly, reject all the proposals coming from the co-chairs
(of the OSCE Minsk Group)," he said, Novosti-Armenia reports referring
to Russia's RIA Novosti.
The Co-Chairs of the Minsk Group recommend to the conflict parties
to demonstrate the political will necessary to reach the peaceful
settlement. They should follow Helsinki principles related to
refraining from using force or force threat, territorial integrity,
equal rights and self-determination of peoples.
Azerbaijan not only "rejected the recommendations on the basic
principles, but also all the other proposals related to strengthening
mutual trust, such as withdrawal of snipers from the front lines,
ceasefire enhancement, investigation of the incidents at the contact
line."
Nalbandian also noted Yerevan's official stance stays in line with
that of the Co-Chairs.
"It would be much better if Azerbaijan agreed to accept the
recommendations of the Co-Chairs in negotiating, like Armenia did,"
