Elmar Mammadyarov sends letter to his Albanian, Pakistani counterparts and OIC secretary general on arms sales to Armenia

28 July 2007 11:03 (UTC +04:00)

The letter says that such relations between Albania and Armenia pose serious concern. It does not only worry Azerbaijani society, but also has negative influence on friendship relations between Azerbaijan and Albania, members of UN, OSCE and OIC.
â€œAs you know, over 800,000 Azerbaijanis became refugees as a result of Armenian aggression and ethnic cleansing. According to OIC resolutions, in order to prevent Armenia from continuing aggression and enlarging the conflict, the organization member states should not sell military supplies, weapons to Armenia, and should not allow using their country a transit country. This fact contradicts norms and principles of the international law. Baku is against war and regards selling military supplies and weapons to Armenia as an act against Azerbaijan,â€ the letter says.
Taking into account mutual relations between Azerbaijan and Albania, especially high-level meeting of the two presidents last month in Istanbul in the framework of BSECO summit, Elmar Mammadyarov called on his Albanian counterpart to intervene in the case and ensure canceling sale of weapons,. /APA/
