"I can not predict future moves, but I am surprised why the OSCE
Minsk Group is not talking about the real situation?", said chief of
Department for External Relations of the presidential administration
Novruz Mamedov, voicing sharp condemnations for the co-chairs of the
Minsk Group, in particular, US co-chair Matthew Bryza.
N. Mamedov noted that during the last meeting of the Presidents
of Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Armenian side has shown itself as
extremely unconstructive.
"In particular, they did not want to take any step towards resolving
the conflict, and once again demonstrated the territorial claims
to Azerbaijan. Despite this, without consulting the President of
Azerbaijan, the co-chairs issued a statement supporting the position
of President of Armenia and, apparently, the views of the co-chairs.
That is, they are provide the world community , the president and the
secretary of state, with wrong information as regards to progress,
reconciliation of positions and so on. This is another proof of the
special attitude towards Armenia, which is an aggressor country and
protection of its interests. On the other hand, the co-chairs are
interested in delaying the process, continuing missions and their
functions," said N. Mamedov.
Day.Az reports with reference to the Azadlyg radio that Novruz Mamedov
also said maybe Matthew Bryza provides Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama
with false information for career advancement, promotion etc. "I have
no other assumptions".
He also noted that it is better for Matthew Bryza to speak of
Armenian President’s position and the steps Serzh Sargsyan made for
reconciliation.
"The President of Azerbaijan has repeatedly said that we recognize the
right of peoples to self-determination, but it can only be exercised
within the framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity".
N. Mamedov did not comment on what the rejection of Minsk Group
services will bring to Azerbaijan noting only that this question
should be left for later.
