Ambassador: MPs' visit to Nagorno-Karabakh doesn't reflect stance of
Mexican gov't



The visit of Mexican parliamentarians to the conflict zone does not
reflect the official stance of the Mexican government on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Mexican Ambassador to Azerbaijan Juan
Rodrigo Labardini Flores told APA on Thursday.

He said that the Mexican government received the news of visit after
it had taken place.

Mexico supports a peaceful settlement of the long-standing
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the ambassador stressed.

'The position of the Mexican government is clear from this point of
view,' he said urging Azerbaijan and Armenia to resolve the conflict
through the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.

'The Mexican government supports the resolution of this conflict
within international law. We are of the opinion that the relevant UN
Security Council resolutions should be fulfilled. These resolutions
call for compliance with the ceasefire in the conflict zone and urges
respect for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and sovereignty,' added
the ambassador.

The ambassador noted that the Mexican government will investigate the
MPs' illegal visit.

The illegal visit of Mexican MPs Blanca Margarita Cuata Domínguez,
María Cristina Teresa García Bravo, and Carlos Hernández Mirón to
Azerbaijani lands occupied by Armenia is under investigation, Hikmat
Hajiyev, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said earlier.

The Azerbaijani Embassy in Mexico has been given relevant instructions
in this regard, Hajiyev said.

The Mexican MPs, accompanied by Armenian Parliament vice-speaker
Edward Sharmazanov, met with Ashot Gulyan, the 'speaker' of the
'parliament' of the separatist regime created in the occupied
Azerbaijani territories.
