Below is a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy:
On the occasion of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's visit to Rome,
July 14, Italy and Azerbaijan agreed to adopt a joint declaration with
the intent to further enhance their bilateral political, economic and
cultural relations and to explore new horizons of cooperation,
including through the involvement of civil society.
Part of this all-round cooperation is also the commitment to seek a
negotiated settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the
auspices of the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (with Italy being
its member and supporting its principles).
In line with its traditional position and in full harmony with that of
the European Union, the Italian side considers it necessary to
reiterate, even in the context of the Joint Declaration, that the
mutual commitment of Rome and Baku should be focused on a peaceful
solution to the conflict, based on the rules and principles of the UN
Charter and the Helsinki Final Act, as well as the ongoing negotiation
process, conducted under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs, France, Russia and the United States.
In view of the latest developments, Italy is deeply concerned over the
recent incidents in the region and, in close cooperation with the EU
partners, is urging Armenia and Azerbaijan to refrain from using force
and to seize the opportunity for to find a political solution to the
conflict, taking advantage of the meeting between President Aliyev and
President Sargsyan in Sochi, on August 10.
