RA MFA: Refusing to negotiate with Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan hinders talks

PanARMENIAN.Net - The latest statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry is another failed attempt of Baku to justify through Azerbaijani constitution an aggression against the people of Artsakh (NKR), which is a flagrant violation of the UN Charter, RA Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shavarsh Kocharyan said, commenting on the statement by the Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov on the Karabakh conflict resolution. 

Shavarsh Kocharyan reminded that the Constitution of Azerbaijan was adopted after the conclusion of a cease-fire with the NKR and has nothing to do with the Republic of Artsakh, having its own constitution. 



"Mr. Mammadyarov presented to reporters the results that can be achieved if he negotiates with himself, and when Azerbaijan will develop and sign a peace agreement on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement with itself," Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia said. 



According to him, refusing to negotiate with Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan hinders talks and still will not be able to avoid responsibility for the consequences of the aggression it unleashed. 



Earlier, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, speaking on the future status of Nagorno Karabakh, said that it will be determined through negotiations, and perhaps only after the Armenian armed forces are withdrew from Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijani displaced persons are returned to their places of residence, the infrastructure is reconstructed, the peaceful coexistence of Azerbaijani and Armenian communities to be ensured. The Minister also noted that under the Constitution of Azerbaijan issues relating to the territorial integrity of the country are solved by referendum held throughout its territory.
