“Ukraine recognizes sovereignty and territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan,” Ukraine’s Defense Minister Anatoli Grichenko told
following the meeting of the CIS Board of Defense Ministers in
Baku today.
He gave this answer to APA’s question “The declaration on conflicts
signed by heads of state in latest GUAM Summit reads that Azerbaijan’s,
Georgia’s and Moldova’s territorial integrity has been violated. Two
days later Ukraine signed a contract on military cooperation with
Armenia. What cooperation does this contract mean and isn’t it contrary
to the declaration signed by the presidents?” (APA).
Mr.Grichenko said that Ukraine’s cooperation with Armenia does not
mean any harmful actions against other partner states.
