"Azerbaijan has always voiced its principled position.
This position is that to drive the peace process from the deadlock
Armenia should at least start withdrawing its troops from the occupied
Azerbaijani territories," spokesman for Azerbaijan"s Foreign Ministry
Elman Abdullayev told APA. Commenting on statements made by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian at today"s press conference
with OSCE Chairman-in-Office Leonid Kozhara, Elman Abdullayev noted
that start of the withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan may serve as a basis for the continuation
of the peace process.
Edward Nalbandian said that at the meeting in Vienna on July
12 the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers didn"t touch
on the possibility to continue the process of settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict only after liberation of the occupied
territories.
Elman Abdullayev said the presence of Armenian Armed Forces in the
occupied Azerbaijani territories do not allow to improve the peace
process.
"The Armenian side that is attempting to confuse the international
community tries to justify is aggressive policy protracting the process
of settlement. The world community has already expressed its position
on this issue. Armenia is recognized as an aggressor state in all
the documents adopted by the international organizations. The world
community should properly exert pressure on Yerevan. The lack of the
political will and non-constructive position of Armenia impedes the
improvement of the peace process," he said.
