ArmInfo. The statement by the Azerbaijani Ambassador to Russia, if it
meets reality, indeed, causes evident bewilderment, CSTO Institute
Autonomous Non-commercial Organization (ANCO) subsidiary in Armenia
told ArmInfo commenting on the militarist statements of the Azerbaijani
Ambassador address to Armenia.

"The statement by Mr.Byul-Byul oghli contains an evident call for
force, which will not help finding constructive solution to the
Karabakh conflict. Such a course leads to aggravation of tension in the
region and contradicts to the efforts by the OSCE MG and the context
of the negotiations of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents,"
the source reported. In addition the Ambassador’s statement can be
interpreted as distrust in the political and diplomatic measures
of settlement and as a provocation of military settlement of
the conflict. The CSTO like the other international structures
has repeatedly declared devotion to the peaceful settlement of the
Karabakh conflict and keeps on supporting the efforts taken within
the frames of the OSCE to achieve political resolution of the conflict.

Earlier Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Russia Polad Byul Byul oghli
said in an interview with the ANS that "It is time to liberate "the
occupied lands" by all means and every Azerbaijani must be ready for
that especially that Azerbaijan has a right to liberate its lands
from occupants in compliance with the UN Statute." Nevertheless,
Byul Byul oghli said that if Azerbaijan launches military actions no
one will have a right to interfere into the conflict since Azerbaijan
will fight on its own territory.
