Azerbaijani FM: French co-chairman of OSCE Minsk Group states that his words were misunderstood in Yerevan

The minister expressed his concern over the information spread by the Armenian and Azerbaijani media referring to him, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Elkhan Polukhov said.

Azerbaijan cannot win in the case of a war in Nagorno-Karabakh, Fassier was quoted as saying by the several Armenian media outlets in Yerevan Friday.

"Azerbaijan's victory in the case of a renewed war is impossible because I personally know about the bravery of the Armenian and Karabakh warriors," he said at the "Rose-Roth" NATO Parliamentary Assembly workshop, Novosti-Armenia reported.

In the course of the conversation Fassier said that, as co-chairman and a military man, he can not allow such a blunder as the assessment of the armed forces of an army or a country's willingness to resolve the conflict by military means, Polukhov said. 

"Fassier said that such a misinterpretation of his words is unacceptable and causes his great concern. It was also noted that during a press conference in Yerevan, he spoke French and was provided with a very bad translation into English and Russian languages of his speech," he added.
