Azerbaijan is interested in Armenia’s prosperity. If Armenia makes
correction to its own policies and becomes a responsible actor in
international relations, then it may ensure its own prosperity,
the spokesman of the Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, Xazar Ibrahim said.

Commenting on Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan’s opinion
that Nagornyy Karabakh’s status should be determined by the people
of Nagornyy Karabakh, Xazar Ibrahim said that there are no people of
Nagornyy Karabakh.

"There are no people of Nagornyy Karabakh. The international community
may get confused if we refer to the region or town population within
a country as people. Therefore, it will be useful if Mr Nalbandyan
clarifies his words, because such things neither correspond to
international law nor to negotiation process," Ibrahim said.
