Novruz Mammadov: â€œArmenian leadership intends to delay negotiation process doing certain maneuvers againâ€

The essence of the issue is that it is impossible to say something about the details while full agreement on the conflict solution is not reached in the negotiationsâ€, Chief of the International Relations Department of the Presidentâ€™s Office Novruz Mammadov told APA exclusively. He said the main goal of the negotiations over the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict was to put full solution to the conflict on agenda. â€œThe goal is to determine Nagorno Karabakh status within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, to return refugees to their homeland and to liberate Azerbaijani lands from the occupation. Therefore it is impossible to say something fair because full agreement was not reached. I can say in a sense that Armenian leadership intends to delay the negotiation process doing some maneuvers againâ€.
Novruz Mammadov commented on the statement made by Armenian leadership after the meeting with separatist regime of Nagorno Karabakh â€œNagorno Karabakh can not be a part of Azerbaijanâ€:
â€œAfter independence all Armenian leaders came to power only in the wave of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Today one of their main aims is to delay these negotiations and ensure their stay in power. Unfortunately, these leaders are preparing catastrophic future for Armenian people. They do not learn from the current situation, from at least last yearâ€™s happenings. They do not understand that this patronage is not everlasting, nothing is stable in the regions, everything changes. But if today this patronage loses its force, Armenia will face a fatal situation, as once Ter-Petrosyan said. At that time nobody will pay attention to Armeniaâ€™s calls. Though Armenian leaders understand this, they can not take steps in this direction. The Armenians know very well that within these 20 years no country has recognized or will recognize the so-called regime established in the Azerbaijani territories. Thatâ€™s why they make such absurd statements to gain some dividends before the people and calm themselves and the countryâ€™s population down,â€ he said.
