Baku / 17.10.18 / Turan: Armenian media reported on plans to build a new road from Armenia to Karabakh along the Araks River, and to create a new settlement "Sydney" on the territory of the occupied Kalbajar district.
Such plans contradict bilateral agreements reached during the Dushanbe CIS summit. Illegal activities in the occupied territories undermine international efforts to resolve the conflict.
"Such actions of the Armenian authorities testify to an unconstructive position, demonstrate contradictions between their words and deeds, not interest in a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
The settlement of the occupied territories and attempts to change the demographic situation are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law," the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a commentary. -02D-
