Armenian FM says Baku only audience for false Azeri statements

The population of Azerbaijan is the only audience for official Baku's statements, Armenian Foreign Minister said.

At a joint news conference with his Polish, Swedish and Bulgarian counterparts, Radosław Sikorski, Carl Bildt and Nikolay Mladenov in Yerevan, Edward Nalbandian commented on Baku’s accusations, suggesting Armenia was to blame for non-adoption of a five-sided agreement at OSCE Foreign Ministers Council meeting in Dublin.

In reply to Azeri accusations, Nalbandian suggested comparing Baku and Yerevan’s statements at the Dublin meeting.

Also, the MF said, this hasn’t been the first time for Baku. “Back in 2010, at Almaty meeting, Baku declared the principle of territorial integrity to be the only one prevailing. Eventually, a 3-sided agreement was signed instead of a 5-sided one.”

“This time in Dublin, Azeri side yet again failed to mention all 3 principles: non-use of force, people’s right for self-determination and territorial integrity,” Nalbandian said.
