April 26, 2013 - 21:59 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
expressed gratitude to Russia for taking efforts aimed the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement, with other OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.
`Azerbaijan refused to work on the coordination of principles on
Karabakh settlement. It is not ready to accept the principles offered
by the Minsk Group co-chairs,' Minister Nalbandian said in interview
with ITAR-TASS.
`Baku rejects both the principles on the conflict resolution and the
mediators' proposals regarding the consolidation of the ceasefire
regime, removal of snipers from the contact line and creation of
mechanisms for the investigation of incidents. It's truly a
complicated situation, given Baku's threats, militaristic rhetoric,
constant ceasefire violations and provocations, as Azerbaijan is
openly preparing for war. Moreover, Baku deems itself authorized to
ignore the international community's warnings against use of force and
statements noting peaceful settlement as the only possible solution to
the problem.
This proves Azeri authorities' lack of readiness for a peaceful
resolution. They are losing the sense of reality, instead they are
thinking of new provocations that may have tough consequences both for
the region and Azerbaijan itself.
Baku reaped no lessons from the past, as it refused to heed the calls
of the international community and fulfill the UN Security Council's
resolutions adopted in 1993, voicing reluctance to cease the
hostilities. As a result, only peace enforcement measures proved
effective.
Armenia jointly with the international community will take every
effort to achieve peaceful resolution of the conflict,' Minister
Nalbandian said.
