Sargsyan: Armenia is only one to fulfill UN resolutions' paragraphs
Monday, August 11, 2014
As was reported earlier, a meeting of Presidents of Armenia, Russia
and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno Karabakh problem settlement is being
held in Sochi today.
According to RIA Novosti, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said
addressing Vladimir Putin: "This problem requires a solution. It drags
on for a long time. I hope that your personal participation in the
process will give renewed impetus to the negotiating process. As you
said, there is already a format of negotiations, and a legal basis for
resolving the conflict also exists. The UN Security Council passed
four resolutions demanding an immediate and unconditional withdrawal
of Armenian occupation forces from Azerbaijani territory.
Unfortunately, 20 years have passed that those resolutions still
remain on paper... I think that as our friend, partner and neighbor,
Russia certainly has a special role in the settlement process and we
hope that in the near future we will find a negotiated and peaceful
solution that will be in line with the norms and principles of
international law and also in line with justice".
For his part, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said: "The Azerbaijani
side constantly refers to four resolutions of the UN, but let me ask
Mr. Aliyev a question: What paragraph of those resolutions has
Azerbaijan fulfilled? Armenia which exercised its influence to stop
hostilities is the only one to have fulfilled paragraphs of those
resolutions. And if we return to the events of the early 1990s, I
think it will be a good thing on the one hand, but on the other hand,
something will drag on... And if we start blaming each other again, I
think the conflict will remain unresolved for a long time".
"We believe that the conflict can be resolved. It should be resolved
on the basis of compromise, the principles that the OSCE Co-chairs
proposed," Serzh Sargsyan said.
