Conflicts may jeopardize Europe’s future – FM

Baku, May 17, AssA-Irada

Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at the 3rd Council of Europe
(CE) summit in Warsaw on Tuesday that conflicts may represent a
serious threat to the future of Europe.

Mammadyarov said that conflicts resulting in ethnic cleansing and
occupation of lands are particularly dangerous.

“Not only conflicts but also national policies lead to the
establishment of mono-ethnic borders of countries, which contradicts
European principles.”

Touching upon the Upper Garabagh conflict, Mammadyarov said the
leadership of Azerbaijan sees settlement of the conflict in the
integration of the self-proclaimed Upper Garabagh Republic, which does
not have its own Constitution, into Azerbaijan, return of refugees
and internally displaced persons home and peaceful co-existence of
Azerbaijani and Armenian communities.

Mammadyarov stressed that the Azerbaijani authorities are ready to
guarantee the security of Armenian population in Upper Garabagh.*
