Germany's position in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue is clear, and the
country is completely not guided by double standards, Armenia Today
news agency said.
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Germany to Armenia
Reiner Morell made the remarks Jan.23, referring to the question
whether the use of double standards by different countries exacerbates
the situation on the contact line in Karabakh conflict zone.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel several times talked about this,
the ambassador said.
"Germany is a member of the OSCE Minsk Group, and we are closely
following the events," Reiner Morell said. "Germany advocates for
a peaceful settlement of the issue. The chancellor said that we are
concerned about the tense situation on the border, and that we are
ready to help where it is needed."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
