April 26, 2001 - 23:06 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - YEREVAN, April 26. /Mediamax/. "It's very hard to seriously react to the statements like those which Ilham Aliev made at the session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE)", NKR Foreign Minister Naira Melkumian told in the interview to Mediamax.

Speaking in PACE, Ilham Aliev said the territory of Nagorno Karabakh is used for transit of drug conveyance. He also spoke of illegal placing of weapon in Nagorno Karabakh, washing up of money on the occupied territories.

"Because of Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh has for a long time been under a blockade, and it must be quite apparent to Ilham Aliev, a person who seems to be aware of business undertakings, that such territories are of no interest for dealers, engaged in that sort of business", Melkumian said. --0--
