17 April 2008 [09:25] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov made a speech at the international conference "Basic principles of settlement of the conflicts in GUAM countries" in Baku, APA reports.
Araz Azimov said that the most important issue was the steps to be taken basing on the results of this conference.

"GUAM countries should join efforts for the settlement of the conflicts in their territories. These conflicts should be solved basing on the principles of the international law recognized by the world community. This is the approach of GUAM countries to the settlement of the conflicts and this position was coordinated at the summit of GUAM heads of state two years ago", he said.

Araz Azimov said GUAM countries should mobilize their forces to solve the conflicts in their territories. He dismissed the misconception of "frozen conflicts".

"By "frozen conflict", we mean the frozen situation, not the frozen solution", he said.

Araz Azimov said Azerbaijan was always ready to ensure peace and stability in its territory.

"Armenia’s position consists of delaying the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Ways of solution of this problem should be found. These ways are political pressure, basing on the principles of international law and unique position of the international community", he said.

Araz Azimov said Azerbaijan was ready to continue the negotiations on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict and did not refuse dialogue.
