ArmInfo. Azerbaijan keeps on wishful thinking. This time, that matter
concerns interpretation of the statement on the Karabakh settlement
passed within the frames of OSCE FMC in Athens at late 2009.
In particular, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev tried to present
this statement as pro- Azerbaijani. "The document, passed on this
issue at OSCE FMC session at late 2009clearly shows the conflict
settlement ways. It indicates that the problem must be solved within
the frames of the countries’ territorial integrity", Aliyev said. In
view of this, ArmInfo correspondent applied to Head of the Mass Media
Relations Department of Armenia’s Foreign Ministry Tigran Balayan. "I
think it incorrect to comment the statements made by the president.
However, I would like to recall that a clear statement on this issue
was made by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan just the day
before. It makes no sense to add something to that", Balayan said.
To recall, E. Nalbandyan said in an interview with Radio Liberty,
when touching on the statement made in Athens, that "the peoples’
right for self-determination has been fixed in such a statement for
the first time, and the name of Azerbaijan is mentioned in it".
