Araz Azimov: Azerbaijan agrees to Madrid principles

14:03 / 03/27/2010 `The Armenian President should be careful about his
statements on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as Azerbaijan has
repeatedly made proposals. Our initiatives are contained in the Madrid
Principles,’ Azerbaijani Deputy FM Araz Azimov said in his interview
with the ANS TV Channel.

`The Armenian President should consider the proposals with all
seriousness if it thinks about his own people, who want to live in
long-lasting peace and cooperation with Azerbaijanis. Time is running
out. I think the Armenian side is applying inadvisable methods to gain
time. I do not think they will succeed. On the one hand, they have to
observe international law and, on the other hand, appreciate
Azerbaijan’s seeking a compromise in the true sense of the word. If
they do not, Azerbaijan will have to restore its territorial integrity
Azerbaijan will, of course, ensure the security of its Armenian
citizens,’ Azimov said.

NEWS.am reminds readers that at his meeting with representatives of
the Armenian community in Syria, RA President Serzh Sargsyan stated
Armenia is not ready for unilateral concessions on Nagorno-Karabakh,
but it is expecting Azerbaijan’s proposals.
