Baku. Anakhanum Hidayatova – APA. “Armenian Foreign Minister reveals his narrow conception of international relations through such statements,” said Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev while commenting on the statements regarding ethnic difference between the Azerbaijani and Armenian peoples made by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian at the Armenian Parliament on April 30, APA reports.

Abdullayev said that the Armenian government's statements on ethnic difference between the Azerbaijani and Armenian peoples are manifestation of their racist thinking: “Armenia that pursued policy of ethnic cleansing, occupation and aggression against the people of Azerbaijan, flagrantly violating the norms and principles of international law, has no right and reason to speak about ethnic and religious tolerance, moral values. Official Yerevan should give up hatred against neighboring states and peoples, its territorial claims, take responsibility for the breach of peace in the region and prepare its people for peace. Staying true to its non-constructive policy, Armenia undermines dialogue between the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, progress in the negotiation process and restoration of peace and stability in the region.
