Baku criticizes Yerevan statement on Karabakh

BAKU. April 28 (Interfax) – Yerevan’s statement that Nagorno-
Karabakh’s re-inclusion in Azerbaijan is impossible was designed “for
domestic consumption,” an Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman said
Friday.

“You can only suggest that that statement was made for domestic
political reasons,” Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Tair
Tagizade told Interfax.

The diplomat also criticized the fact that the statement was made
“while the negotiating process on settling the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is continuing.”
