Armenian Foreign Minister: Baku conducts a policy of induction of a new war

Still have not closed the wounds of the war launched by Azerbaijan,
and Baku provokes a new war, said Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandyan on March, 11 in his speech at the French Diplomatic
Academy.

As REGNUM was informed at the press service of the Armenian Foreign
Ministry, Nalbandyan touched upon Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
and paid attention to the militaristic and non- constructive policy of
Azerbaijan. The Armenian FM said the Azerbaijani party has distributed
some documents in the UN which not only negatively affect the
negotiation process but also aim to justify possible use of force.

Nalbandyan also talked about normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations in his speech. According to him the solution process of the
problems between Armenia and Turkey couldn’t dispute the fact of
Armenian Genocide. `If Armenian and Turkish parts have a political
will and sincere intentions to normalize the relations, no factor
could prevent it’, said Nalbandyan. Armenian FM said the `crucial’
meeting of both Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Abdullah Gul in Yerevan
gave a new impulse to the negotiations and is in the interests of the
two states and peoples. According to the minister, the negotiations
are aimed not only to normalize Armenian-Turkish relations, but also
assumed a serious contribution to assure regional security and
stability.
