Azerbaijan will not use the situation in Armenia to secure its own
interests, chief spokesman for Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry Khazar
Ibragim said at a briefing on Monday.
"Azerbaijan does not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs,
this is not in line with our views and traditions. We believe all
processes occurring in Armenia are its internal affair," Ibragim said.
At the same time, Armenia is a country, which occupied part of
Azerbaijan’s territories, and the parties continue talks on the
Karabakh conflict, the diplomat said.
"Given these issues, we would not like the events occurring in
Armenia to impact the negotiating process. Armenia must take a more
constructive stand. Azerbaijan is not going to make use of this
situation in Armenia, and we want our neighbors to understand this
and treat us in the same way," Ibragim said.
