Azeri official doubts Armenian report on OSCE chief’s Karabakh remarks
ANS TV, Baku
31 Mar 05
[Presenter] OSCE Chairman-in-Office [and Slovene Foreign Minister]
Dimitrij Rupel’s meetings in Yerevan have focused on the situation on
the [Armenian-Azerbaijani] front line.
[Passage omitted: reported details]
[Correspondent, over video of Rupel and Armenian Foreign Minister
Vardan Oskanyan] The Azerbaijani president’s special envoy on the
Karabakh problem, Araz Azimov, has commented on Rupel’s statement that
Nagornyy Karabakh will be involved in [peace] talks as well.
I doubt that Mr Rupel could have made a statement of this kind. It is
not ruled out that the Armenian media might distort his statement. Mr
Rupel is coming to Azerbaijan tomorrow [1 April]. We will learn
whether he said this or not at private talks with him tomorrow, end of
quote.
As for the statement by [president of the self-proclaimed Nagornyy
Karabakh Republic] Arkadiy Gukasyan [that Azerbaijan has been
destabilizing the situation], Azimov described it as another
provocation.
