Statements prove that the Minsk Group co-chairing states keep the
problem of Karabakh conflict a focus of attention.
Deputy chairman and executive secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan
Party, deputy Ali Ahmadov praises the joint statement of the presidents
of the Minsk Group co-chairing states to settle the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict.
According to Ahmadov, such statements prove that the Minsk Group
co-chairing states keep the problem of Karabakh conflict a focus of
attention, the New Azerbaijan newspaper reports.
“Another important reason is that the co-chairs have voiced their
stance that the situation in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over
Nagorno Karabakh cannot continue further. This implied that they see
it impossible to preserve the status quo in the future. It proves that
the co-chairs see the need for demonstrating more efforts. In this
view, I believe that this statement deserves high appraisal”, he said.
All the same, the deputy chairman of the ruling party noted that
official Baku is not completely satisfied with the voiced statement
since Nagorno Karabakh conflict remains unsettled.
“However, I have to note that though important, the mere declaration
of statement is not enough for Azerbaijan. Very many statements have
been voiced and decisions taken in over 20 years. Unfortunately, the
conflict settlement was not ensured in the reporting period. However
important the statements may seem to us, the most important is to
make sure that the conflict finds its solution”, Ahmadov said.
