The Armenian Foreign Ministry has described as unacceptable the latest
attempt by Azerbaijan to conceal its non-constructive position on the
issue of achieving a lasting peace, the press secretary of the
Armenian Foreign Ministry, Gamlet Gasparyan, said while commenting on
the statement issued by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry on 4 August
regarding the exercises in Nagornyy Karabakh.

“Azerbaijan’s militarist rhetoric, its discontent with the peaceful,
legal and democratic elections to the local government bodies in
Nagornyy Karabakh and its contemptuous statements regarding its
Karabakh’s right to self-defence are only aggravating the atmosphere
of mistrust and cynicism. Despite such futile comments by the
Azerbaijani side, Armenia is always ready to take part in the efforts
which the international organizations are making in the region,
specifically in the forthcoming NATO exercises, and also to continue
its involvement in a peaceful settlement to the Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict,” Gasparyan said.
