Robert Simmons: "I regret for no notable improvement in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict"

Safar Abiyev said that Azerbaijan goes on cooperating with NATO and delay of Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict prevents successful development of this cooperation, APA reports.

The Minister said that one of the main principles of NATO Partnership for Peace (PP) is to respect territorial integrity of states, stating that Armenia being the member of this program does not fulfil its responsibility and UN Security Council four resolutions.

"The international organisations should exert pressure upon Armenia. If the conflict is not solved peacefully Azerbaijan will restore its territorial integrity by itself," the Minister said.

Mr. Simmons said that NATO appreciates the successes of Azerbaijan in fulfilling of PP, and follows it attentively.

"We regret for no notable improvement in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict," he said.
