Azerbaijan’s proposal on developing roadmap for Karabakh is “flippant”
– Armenian foreign minister
YEREVAN. Nov 15
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian sees as “flippant”
Azerbaijan’s proposal on developing a roadmap to settle the conflict
over Nagorno-Karabakh.
“I do not think that Baku’s idea regarding a roadmap can be serious.
There is an impression that the authors of this statement are stuck in
the mid-1990s,” Nalbandian said at a joint press conference with
Latvian Foreign Minister Edgards Rinkevics in Yerevan on Thursday.
“If this 17-year-old map – and we are talking about a map dating back
to 1995 – made any sense, it would have been implemented,” Nalbandian
said.
Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov proposed earlier that such a
roadmap be developed.
Nalbandian argued that the international community has already
proposed its roadmap. “It was presented in Kazan and concerns basic
principles for settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. No progress was
made in Kazan, as Azerbaijan dismissed these proposals,” Nalbandian
said.
