ArmInfo. Baku reacted to the  statement of the head of the National Security Service of Armenia  Artur Vanetsyan about the impossibility of territorial  concessions.

"We call on the OSCE Minsk Group to condemn such statements by the leadership of Armenia," the statement of the Armenian Foreign Ministry said in response to an Interfax request.The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry emphasizes that such statements  contradict the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group on the peaceful  settlement of the conflict, as well as the agreements reached by the  heads of the foreign affairs agencies of Armenia and Azerbaijan in  Paris.

"All responsibility for the consequences of such provocative  statements falls on Armenia," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the  Republic of Azerbaijan stresses.It should be noted that during the  visit to the southern regions of Artsakh, the head of the National  Security Service of Armenia Artur Vanetsyan stated that the talks  about the possible surrender of the territories to Azerbaijan are  speculations. During his visit to the southern regions, Vanetsyan  discussed the program of settling the territory along the bank of the  Araks River with the top leadership of Artsakh. In particular, it is  planned to build the settlement Araksavan, to develop agriculture  here and to create infrastructures. According to Vanetsyan, the  settlement of these territories is one of the main security  guarantees of Artsakh. In the context of the discussions, Vaniecian  noted that the implementation of this project is already a refutation  of speculation that negotiations are underway around possible  territorial concessions. "Implementing this program, we are sending a  clear message to the world that no one will surrender even a single  inch of land. On the contrary, our compatriots should live in our  territories, live and create," said Vanetsyan.
