The Azerbaijani embassy in Russia has released a statement due to
the speech of the Armenian provocateur ambassador.

The absurd statement of O.Yesayan released by Regnum on May 11 with
reference to the news service for the Armenian embassy in Moscow is
extremely surprising, according statement issued by the Azerbaijani
embassy in Russia.

Azerbaijan has repeatedly stated its adherence to the soonest peaceful
resolution of the conflict by way of talks with Armenia on all levels,
beginning from leadership to the wide community. However, it clearly
says that in case the talks are ineffective, it will preserve a
right to liberate its lands. No diplomat will ever doubt that the
protection of homeland is a sovereign right of a state as fixed in the
UN charter. The use of this right, appeals to the soonest deoccupation
of the Azerbaijani lands can never be viewed as bellicose. However,
probably, the said person experiences difficulty in understanding
this copy-book maxim.

The fact that Azerbaijan is taking an active part in the negotiation
process on the conflict settlement and the representatives of its
civil society, primarily intellectuals, in fact demonstrate readiness
for dialogue with the representatives of the Armenian community and
intellectuals demonstrates good will manifested by the Azerbaijani
side.

On May 10 Armenian ambassador in Russia Oleg Yesayan commented on
the statement of the Azerbaijani ambassador in Russia made during
his meeting with Azerbaijani veterans.

Yesayan said the following nonsense: "No diplomat, especially an
ambassador and a leader of the CIS humanitarian structure respecting
himself will ever make appeals to incite national enmity and war in a
friendly country, on the days of Victory gained by the joint efforts
of the veterans of the former USSR, even if he represents Azerbaijan,
the country where anti-Armenian hysteria has been made a state policy
