Non-recognition of Karabakh harmful for Baku

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan's bellicose statements are meant to blackmail the international community, an NKR official said.



"Baku calls for resumption of war, incites armed provocations at the border, purchases armament from Ukraine, Turkey and Israel, develops bellicose rhetoric and racist anti-Armenian propaganda," Ruben Zargaryan, historian and adviser to Foreign Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net

   

"Azeri leadership's regular calls for elimination of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh conflict with the international community's values and criteria," he said.

 

"Recognition of NKR independence by Azerbaijan would put an end to the century-old hostility, prevent a new war and resolve the refugee problem. It would secure sovereignty of Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh, economic reforms, civilized borders, neighborly relations and cooperation," Zargaryan said.
