Armenia has lost its opportunity to be involved in large-scale regional
projects due to its uncooperative behavior with regard to talks on
the peaceful solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Foreign
Minister of Azerbaijan, Elmar Mammadyarov stated while hosting the
group of British Parliamentarians in Baku, Trendreports with reference
to the Press Service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
Speaking officially on the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
the Minister emphasized that primarily Armenia should withdraw its
Armed Forces from occupied Azerbaijani territories. International
peace-keeping forces should then be positioned and mine-clearing
activities carried out. Refugees and internally displaced persons
should then be allowed to return to their native land.

of relations with the international organizations including NATO and
the European Union, and the current situation in the region.
