Tahir Tagizade, the Head of Press & Information at the Azerbaijan
Foreign Ministry told journalists on 11 September that the Azerbaijan
Foreign Ministry does not face any obstacles with regards to its
co-operation on preventing fires in the Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani
territory, Trend reports.

In response to whether the recent UN Resolution on State in the
Occupied Territory of Azerbaijan awaits the same fate as the
previous UN resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh, Tagizade said that
non-implementation of the resolutions and absence of mechanisms
is not only a problem of the UN, but also to other international
organizations. "Therefore, Azerbaijan supports the reformation of
the UN," he emphasized.

The diplomat noted that a visit of the mission to investigate the
fact of fires in the occupied territory of Azerbaijan will become a
first step of what is a large-scale ecological operation.

"Azerbaijan, has taken all the necessary measures. The first meeting
of the inter-departmental working group was held last week," he added.

With regards to reports on the sale of mass destruction arms by
China to Armenia, Tagizade stressed that the Azerbaijan Foreign
Ministry instructed its Ambassadors in Beijing and Moscow to study
and report back the situation. Only then will the Foreign Ministry
be in a position to comment.

With respect to visits of Azerbaijanis to Armenia, Tagizade said
that only upon completion of the first stage of the resolution of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict would such visits be acceptable.
