Baku considers allegation of Deputy Foreign Ministers of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharian that the lack of progress in negotiations on the Karabakh is Azerbaijan's fault to be frivolous.

"Once again, it is regrettable that the Armenian side prefers to live with desires, dreams, dreams and legends, appealing in their statements and comments to unreal topics", said spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elkhan Poluhov, according to Interfax-Azerbaijan.
He stressed that "Azerbaijan, unlike Armenia always speaks with clear arguments, building its position on the basis of norms and rules of international law - the UN Charter, OSCE documents, in particular, the Helsinki Final Act, which lays the ground of this organization".
E. Poluhov quoted article 8 of the Act, which states that "it is necessary to respect the equal rights and self-determination of peoples, while continuing to act consistently in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and relevant norms of international law, including those relating to territorial integrity of the states".
"This sentence cannot be read and interpreted otherwise and Azerbaijan is clearly focused on these documents and principles. Azerbaijan has always been constructive and always participated in the negotiation process.
If the opposite party, which also must show its agreement and a clear stance, refused to do so, how can a result be achieves?", wondered E. Poluhov.
