Baku. Elnur Mammadli-APA. Almost everything Armenian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shavarsh Kocharian said in an interview to Echo Moskvy Radio is far from true, said Azerbaijanâ€™s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Elkhan Polukhov.

He said such a statement by Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister is very surprising.

â€œSpeaking of such a sensitive issue ignorantly, the senior government official of Armenia has demonstrated his lack of knowledge. His words about the absence of UN resolutions on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and other issues prove his unawareness.
This probably comes from the fact that he did not participate in all stages of the process of conflict resolution and has no idea about its intricacies,â€ he added.

According to him, Azerbaijan want to restore the normal lifestyle of Azerbaijani citizens of Armenian origin living there, to ensure the return of IDPs to their homeland and restore sovereignty over its territory.
