Azerbaijani MP Aydin Mirzazade believes the Madrid principles are
proposals aimed to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

"This is not a commitment made by the countries. The proposals
are designed for rapprochement of the conflicting sides. However,
Azerbaijan will not accept any proposal that puts into question its
territorial integrity," New Azerbaijan Party Political Council member,
MP Aydin Mirzazade said in an interview to the ruling party’s website.

OSCE submitted the updated Madrid principles to the sides at its
summit held in Athens.

He said the updated Madrid principles mainly reflect Azerbaijan’s
interests. "Thus, in general, our country accepted these principles,"
he added.

He said that Armenia changes its position on this issue very
frequently.

"Because, Armenia is interested in the frozen conflict, but not in
resolving the problem. Solution to the conflict is unprofitable to the
agressor state’s leadership. This team came to the leadership after the
"Karabakh wave". This power has sufficiently addressed its personal
problems. Now those in power in Armenia are not interested in solving
the problems existing in the Armenian society. Today, Armenia is in
socio-economic crisis. There are serious problems with the state. The
country depends on foreign forces and the Armenian Diaspora as a
result of which it is not able to express opinion on a number of
issues. However, Armenia will be obliged to make its choice," he added.
