PRESS RELEASE

28-07-2006

Acting Press Secretary Vladimir Karapetian Replies to
Question by Haylur News Program

Question: In his interview given to the Azerbaijani news media, Elmar
Mammadyarov, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister, made a peculiar assessment of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution process, and attempted (and failed) to
present the versions concocted by Azerbaijanis. How do you interpret these
statements?

Mr. Karapetian: While listening to the Foreign Minister, one might gain the
impression that he is in no way connected to the process about which he
speaks.

I think that the Azerbaijani side still suffers from the myths they
themselves have created, and which only they believe or take seriously.

The sooner they get rid of such illusions the sooner it will be possible to
establish stability and an atmosphere of reciprocal confidence in the
region.
