BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 25. Head of the Press Service Department of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Leyla Abdullayeva responded to a request from local media regarding the statement of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on August 24, Trend reports via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.

The fact that the press statement by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on the appointment of Philip Reeker as senior adviser for Caucasus negotiations demonstrates an approach far from the post-conflict realities prevailing in the region comes as surprise.

"Azerbaijan's position on OSCE Minsk Group has been repeatedly and clearly expressed on the highest level. Attempts to revive actually non-functioning Minsk Group may lead to the separation of the US from the process of normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations. The Karabakh conflict has been settled, and Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan. The international community, including our partners, should understand that linking the negotiations on the normalization of Azerbaijani-Armenian relations with the Karabakh issue doesn't help the normalization at all," Abdullayeva noted.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
