AZERI MINISTER TELLS NATO REP ABOUT DOUBLE STANDARDS IN KARABAKH SETTLEMENT

It is irrefutable that Armenia has occupied part of Azerbaijan’s
territory. Despite this the international community has not so
far declared Armenia an aggressor state which proves the existence
of double standards in the (Nagornyy Karabakh) conflict settlement
process, Azerbaijani Defence Minister Safar Abiyev told NATO Assistant
Secretary General for Public Diplomacy Jean Fournet at a meeting today
(13 June).

Mr Fournet said in reply that NATO is aware of Azerbaijan’s position
and is looking for ways of improving (bilateral) relations.
