The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan rejects the statement of the Foreign Ministry of Armenia, which distorted the essence of the words of the President of Azerbaijan during his meeting with representatives of the community of Western Azerbaijan. This is stated in the message of the Azerbaijani foreign policy.
The message notes that the assertion of the Armenian Foreign Ministry, that Azerbaijan is not interested in the world and stability in the region and violates international law – nothing more than hypocrisy.
“We want to remind the Armenian side that, despite the 30-year occupation of Armenia of Azerbaijani lands, the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis from their native places, mass killings, Azerbaijan for 25 years remained committed to the process of peaceful settlement of the conflict. Despite the fact that in Azerbaijan defeated the 44 -day war and liberated the occupied territories, it was our country that made the initiative to conclude a peace agreement with Armenia, ”the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.
The document emphasizes that the assertion of the Armenian side that Azerbaijan violates the Prague and Sochi agreements, impedes the peace process, also unfounded.
“Note that, according to the Prague and Sochi agreements, all problems should be resolved on the basis of the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of borders. However, the territorial claims of Armenia to Azerbaijan, as well as the situation on the Lachinsky road indicate that the intervention of Armenia In the sovereign affairs of Azerbaijan continues.
Along with this, the unacceptable conditions put forward by Armenia on the eve of the meeting of the leaders of the two countries in December in Brussels, as well as the refusal to participate in the meeting of the heads of the Foreign Ministry on December 23 in Moscow clearly demonstrate which of the parties the obstacles on the path of the peaceful process, ” – The message says.
