Baku, Fineko/abc.az. In connection with the consultations devoted
to Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict held in Moscow, the
Azerbaijan Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs has made a statement.
"We would be glad to see Armenia makes more active its efforts towards
quick solution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as we greet such intent. In
respect to us we will keep working on finding the conflict solutions,"
Khazar Ibrahim, Press-Secretary of Azerbaijan Republic Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, said at a briefing in Baku.
As a result of the talks held between Azerbaijan’s, Armenia’s
and Russia’s Presidents November 2 it was adopted the Joint
Declaration. Armenian officials have already reacted upon it by
expressing the readiness to make more active its efforts towards
politic solution of the conflict.
"The Declaration signed in Moscow by Presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia
and Russia reflects the moments linked with politic regulation of
the conflict," K.Ibrahim said.
He clarified the Declaration’s item devoted to conflict solution
based on the international law.
"In all adopted international documents territorial integrity is
considered as a dominant principle, even Helsinki Final Act indicates
that the self-determination principle recognized by Azerbaijan is
to be solved within territorial integrity. All of the international
documents put territorial integrity higher than self-determination,"
K.Ibrahim noted.
