Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia commented on Azeri media reports suggesting Romanian President Traian Basescu, while in Baku, said the principle of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity is a solution to Karabakh conflict settlement.

“I wouldn’t like to believe that the leader of any EU country would take a unilateral position and make non-constructive statements,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said.

“The statement of Romanian President runs counter with the position of the international community, OSCE, EU, Helsinki final act, statements of the OSCE MG co-chairs in Athens, L'Aquila and Astana.

“The statements stipulated for Karabakh conflict settlement based on the people’s right to self-determination, non-use of force and territorial integrity. One would be surprised to learn Romania’s attempting to gain Azerbaijan’s favor,” the Deputy Minister said.
