Azeri spokesman urges Armenia not to delay Karabakh settlement

[Presenter] Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity must be restored and
official Yerevan must abandon steps aimed at dragging out a
settlement of the problem, Xazar Ibrahim, spokesman for the Foreign
Ministry, has said.

[Ibrahim] There is a missing element here. The stance of the
international community regarding the issue is obvious. It says
Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity should be restored and the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs have reiterated this. Azerbaijan’s position is
also well known and coincides fully with the international position
on the issue. The single missing element is Armenia’s position, i.e.
the talk is not about inertia, but should be about the missing
element. Therefore, Armenia should understand and the international
community should tell Armenia consistently that its position first of
all harms itself.
