If Armenia wants to present itself as a worthy partner of the
international community, then it should change its attitude, the Head
of the Press & Information Department of the Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry Tahir Tagizade told Trend, commenting on Armenia’s efforts
to put up obstacles in the monitoring of Azerbaijan’s fire-affected
territories by the OSCE Expert Group.

He stressed that the statement of the Armenian side that these
territories are under their jurisdiction is senseless. These
territories belong to Azerbaijan. Armenia is attempting to legalize
Azerbaijan’s territories which have been captured by force, Tagizade
added.

"The Azerbaijani Government has its regional approach to the fires.
Armenia should refrain from this attitude otherwise it will be proof
of what Armenia holds in the region," Tagizade stressed.
