Azerbaijan's attempts to impose its position on international community undermine talks
Azerbaijan's attempts to impose its position on international community undermine the negotiation process for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Armenian Foreign Minister said.

"Position of the OSCE Minsk Group and the whole international community was demonstrated in the vote on UN Azerbaijani-initiated resolution on March 14," Edward Nalbandian said when commenting on Baku's statements regarding "priority of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity."

"The OSCE Minsk Group co-chair states - Russia, France and U.S. - voted against the resolution; all EU countries abstained to support a one-sided document that pushes the principle of territorial integrity and completely neglects the right of nations to self-determination," he said.

"Today, talks base on the documents and principles proposed by the mediators, article 2 of the Helsinki Final Act on non-use of force, article 4 which mentions territorial integrity and article 8 which fixes the nations' right to self-determination," Minister Nalbandian resumed.
