Khazar Ibrahim, Press-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Wednesday said voting by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs against the
UN General Assembly’s draft resolution, "The situation in the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan", was incomprehensible and incorrect action.
Speaking about the Co-chairs’ unfair position towards the issue,
K. Ibrahim noted "supporting the resolution the international
community once again demonstrated their stance on the settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the framework of the territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan".
"Armenia and those who support it, have to understand that continuation
of negotiations regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is possible
on the norms of international law", said K. Ibrahim.
He stressed though official Baku made known its position regarding
the conflict, the co-chairs would continue their mediation mission
on the principles of the Helsinki Final Act.
As to the Armenian Foreign Minister’s statement regarding the
resolution’s negative influence on negotiation process, the Ministry’s
spokesman said the negotiations carrying out with Armenia were
Azerbaijan’s great compromise to this country.
He said Armenia had to take constructive measure instead of making
groundless statements.
