Yerevan claims Baku stalling Karabakh settlement process
YEREVAN. Oct 17
Azerbaijan is not ready to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said
Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian.
"Azerbaijan pretends that it is ready to draw up a peace treaty but it
is trying to shift the debates to other platforms on one hand and to
thwart the negotiating processes aimed at coordination of fundamental
settlement principles on the other hand," the Armenian Foreign
Ministry press service quoted the minister to Interfax as telling the
OSCE Minsk Group intermediaries.
"The minister emphasized that the destructive steps taken by
Azerbaijan exhibited its unpreparedness to settle the conflict," the
ministry said.
Nalbandian called the intermediaries' attention to the increased
frequency of ceasefire violations ahead of a meeting of the Armenian
and Azeri presidents in Paris due in late October. "This is a
behavioral style traditionally demonstrated by Baku before high-level
meetings," he stated.
"Nalbandian also pointed out to the intermediaries that Azerbaijan had
been alleging that the [OSCE Minsk Group] cochairmen had proposed to
start expert negotiations on settlement elements acceptable for Baku,"
the ministry said.
