Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
stated that Azerbaijan poses a threat to the security of the region
by constantly menacing to use force against Nagorno-Karabakh and
Armenia along with daily war-mongering, Mediamax reports.

“The Azerbaijani officials are trying to take the negotiation process
out of this format, to replace the mediators, to denigrate Co-Chairs’
efforts to find a negotiated solution. The Azerbaijani side is also
continuously assaulting the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office, in spite of his and his team’s efforts to not
allow the escalation of the situation on the ground”, Armenian FM said.

The Minister said that it became habitual for Azerbaijan to backtrack
on agreements to which it had previously consented to.

“Despite the agreement on the creation of a mechanism to investigate
the ceasefire violations, as you know, Azerbaijan did everything to
prevent its creation, even threatening to veto the entire OSCE budget”,
said the Minister. He also called the attention of those present to
the fact that Azerbaijan by its maximalist approaches is seeking one
sided advantage in the negotiating process.
