ArmInfo. Mr.Mammadyarov presented to the journalists the results
which he could reach if he negotiates with himself and if Azerbaijan
itself draws out and sings peaceful agreements with itself, Armenian
Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said when commenting on
the statement of Foreign minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov.

To recall, Mammadyarov has recently said that for resolving of the key
problem at the negotiating table it is necessary to withdraw Armenian
troops from the ‘occupied territories’ of Azerbaijan and return the
displaced persons their. He also added that holding of referendum in
Nagornyy Karabakh is illegal, since according to the Constitution
of Azerbaijan, any referendum should involve the territory of the
whole country but not just one part of it. ‘It is obvious that
the last statement of foreign minister of Azerbaijan is a regular
unsuccessful attempt to justify with a help of Azerbaijani Constitution
implementation of aggression against independent Nagornyy Karabakh
Republic via trampling of the UN Charter. This constitution was adopted
after signing of the cease-fire regime agreement, and is not at all
connected with the NKR which has its own constitution. Refusing to
negotiate with Nagornyy Karabakh Azerbaijan is hampering progress
in the talks, but all the same it cannot avoid responsibility for
consequences of the unleashed aggression’, – Kocharyan said.
