Khazar Ibrahim: "The statement of Kazakhstan’s temporary
plenipotentiary in Armenia contradicts to intergovernmental contract
between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan"

27 December 2008 [11:38] – Today.Az

The statement of Kazakhstan’s temporary plenipotentiary in Armenia
contradicts to intergovernmental contract between Azerbaijan and
Kazakhstan, said spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry Khazar
Ibrahim, commenting on the statement of Kazakh diplomat in Armenia
Nurbolat Alimbayev. It should be noted that Alimbayev said Kazakhstan
does not set the principle of territorial integrity over the principle
of the right of nations for self-determination and both principles are
equal for them".

"Such statements causes surprise, as the agreement "On strategic
partnership between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, signed in 2005, fixes
the priority of the territorial integrity and nonviolation of borders
in several paragraphs.

I can only repeat one of these paragraphs which says that the "sides
spare no efforts for support to the resolution of regional conflicts
on the basis of commonly accepted norms of international law and
observance of the provision of sovereignty, territorial integrity,
nonviolation of state borders", said Ibrahim.
