Dublin. Victoria Dementeva – APA. Azerbaijan has responded to the speech of Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict at the meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council. APA’s correspondent reports from Dublin that following the speeches of all countries’ representatives, Azerbaijan has used the right to respond to the speech of Armenian foreign minister.
Azerbaijan’s permanent representative to the OSCE, ambassador Galib Israfilov said that unfortunately, the OSCE has once again witnessed Armenia’s accusations against Azerbaijan: “To our mind, the only interesting moment in Armenian foreign minister’s statement is that Armenia shares the co-chairs’ position on the settlement of the conflict. The co-chairs’ demand from Armenia is to withdraw its troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. If Armenia fulfills this demand, the other claims of Armenian foreign minister against Azerbaijan will be eliminated.”
The ambassador said that the sooner Armenia takes this step, the sooner mutual understanding and peaceful cooperation can be achieved.
Armenian representative didn’t use his right to reply.
Nalbandian accused Azerbaijan of rejecting all proposals of the OSCE Minsk Group on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
