Dublin. Victoria Dementeva – APA. “Unfortunately, no result has
been achieved during the co-chairs’ visit to the region, because the
Azerbaijani side rejects all proposals of the co-chairs successively.
We see that Azerbaijan intends to disrupt the work done within the
OSCE mandate,” said Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian at
the 19th meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council, APA’s correspondent
reports from Dublin.
He noted that Azerbaijan has taken a maximalist position in
negotiations and is impeding the work of the Minsk Group: “The
Azerbaijani side strongly tries to replace the mediators and denigrate
their efforts. Azerbaijan is pursuing a policy of hatred against
Armenia and constantly taking steps contradicting the principles of
civil society”.
Touching on Ramil Safarov’s case Nalbandian said that “this person
has become a symbol of national pride and example for people and it
poses a threat to the regional stability”.
He expressed his concern over “constant threats of Azerbaijan to use
force in Nagorno Karabakh”. Nalbandian said that Armenia is on the
side of the co-chairs towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict:
“We also regret that no progress has been achieved in Kazan summit.”
