Deputy-Minister of Foreign Affairs Shavarsh Qocharyan in response to
the question of `Armenpress' agency
Question:
Recently, in Australia the President of Azerbaijan, speaking about
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, announced about inadmissibility of
preserving the status quo, and that the change of status quo means the
removal of Armenian forces from so called "occupied Azerbaijani
territories". How would you interpret this statement?
Answer:
It is not a secret to anyone that such constant statements by
Azerbaijan aim to prevent the change of status quo.
If Azerbaijan really wants to change the status quo, then they would
reach an agreement around the principles proposed by the Minsk group
chairs and would foster the peaceful process, rather than would
overturn as in Kazan.
Azerbaijan has only one chance to satisfy his unappeasable desire to
reach the change of status quo through the bypass of the negotiating
format of 3 chairmen. For that Azerbaijan should recognize
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and start negotiations around the
consequences of its aggression, including the current status quo.
The attempt of the Azerbaijani at falsifying Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
and peace process is useless. A similar falsification, as well as the
dissemination of hatred and racist statements and actions against the
Armenians, only increases the responsibility of the Azerbaijani
leadership for the massacres and ethnic cleanings against Armenians,
military aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and as a result
of it the occupation of NKR territories by Azerbaijan.
