Azerbaijan’s official statements run counter to de-facto steps – Nalbandian

Azerbaijani officials have a unique talent of focusing too much on repeated demands while taking actions running counter to them, FM Edward Nalbandian said today commenting on the Azerbaijani foreign minister's recent statement highlighting the unacceptability of the status quo over Nagorno-Karabakh.

At a news conference held jointly with his Estonian counterpart, Sven Mikser, Armenia’s top diplomat also blamed the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry for never abiding by the committment to coordinate joint press releases.

Citing the UN Security Council resolitions, repeatedly cited by Azerbaijan, Nalbandian also highlighted Azerbaijan's failure to take steps towards their implementation.

“There are four resolutions by the UN Security Council, because after each resolution’s passage, Azerbaijan rejected the previous one. Besides, they were not about the negotiation process but were rather aimed at ending military operations and establishing ceasefire,” he added.
