Azerbaijani ministry: If Yerevan's and OSCE Minsk Group's positions
coincide, Armenia must immediately withdraw its troops
26 April 2013
If Yerevan's position actually coincides with the OSCE Minsk Group's
position, as Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian says, Armenia
must immediately withdraw its troops from the occupied territories of
Azerbaijan, spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elman
Abdullayev told Trend today.
"The OSCE Minsk Group indicated the call for withdrawing the
occupation forces from the territory of Azerbaijan in its resolutions
of 1993," he said.
Abdullayev said that Yerevan must also remember that heads of the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairing countries - the presidents of France, the U.S.
and Russia have repeatedly confirmed in their statements, signed in
L'Aquila, Moscow and Deauville, that maintaining the status quo in the
region is unacceptable.
Earlier, Armenian Foreign Minister stressed at a press conference in
Moscow that Yerevan's position coincides with the OSCE Minsk Group's
position.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. are
currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
