Azerbaijani MP accuses Armenian authorities of sabotage

27 July 2010 [11:45] - TODAY.AZ
“Yerevan, as always, makes false statements in an effort to mislead world community,” member of Azerbaijani parliament Musa Guliyev said commenting on Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian’s statement that Azerbaijan undermines peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The MP says making such statements Nalbandian seeks to justify the destructive policy it pursues in talks in eyes of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.

“In fact, it was Armenia who sabotaged adoption of updated Madrid principles since they were announced by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs. In its turn, Azerbaijan adopted these principles with minor reservations. This stance is quite acceptable in terms of international law. Azerbaijan’s move was met with understanding by the OSCE Minsk Group.”

“Terms of settlement of this longstanding and difficult problem cannot be accepted at one hundred percent. Naturally, the parties to the conflict make some minor adjustments to these terms,” the MP added.

“At first, the Armenian side rejected these principles. But after the St. Petersburg meeting, it accused Azerbaijan of failure to support Madrid principles,” the MP noted.

The MP says the problem is that Armenia is in no condition to make decision on the conflict resolution independently. 

“Yerevan is obliged to consult with third countries, especially with one for which it stands as an outpost. In this sense, it is possible that the ideas expressed by Nalbandian belong to the political forces outside Armenia,” Guliyev said.

“Message of the Armenian ministers is addressed neither to Azerbaijan nor Armenian community. Azerbaijan is well aware of Armenian authorities’ habit to lie and turn the facts upside down. Indeed, Armenian society has repeatedly expressed its protest against the illegal way the current Armenian leadership came to power and against their policies,” MP said.

"Another ridiculous statement by Nalbandian is that Azerbaijan uses ceasefire violation for propaganda purposes.”
 
“The solution of the Karabakh problem cannot be limited to OSCE or the UN. This is the problem of entire Azerbaijani people. Baku seeks to ensure transparency in the process of Karabakh conflict settlement. If Armenia is so concerned that violations of the ceasefire are made public, let its army stop firing at Azerbaijan’s positions. In all cases, the truce is violated from the Armenian side and the Azerbaijani army gives an adequate response,” Guliyev underscored.
