PRESS RELEASE
04-07-2006
Acting Press Secretary Vladimir Karapetian Replies to
Question by Arminfo News Agency
Question: During the last several days, the Azerbaijani press
is flooded with statements and information by deputy ministers,
the press secretary, regarding recent developments in the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict resolution process, and those statements often
contain contradictory judgments and interpretations. How do you
interpret this behavior?
Mr. Karapetian: It’s true that in this recent period, the Azerbaijani
side has thrown forth various statements and interpretations, which
do in fact contradict each other.
However, the reality is very clear – the Minsk Group co-chairs,
with their second confirming statement, presented the principles
for resolution which are on the negotiating table, together with
their assessments.
Perhaps the reason for such contradictory interpretations is that the
Azerbaijani diplomats you mention are not familiar with the content
of the negotiations between the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
