“No one can threaten Azerbaijan with the statements to break off the negotiations on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict,” taking a stance on Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan’s statement that the probability of breaking off the negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia increases, spokesman for Defense Ministry Eldar Sabiroghlu told APA.
Asked whether breaking off the negotiations may increase the probability of war Eldar Sabiroghllu said Armenia’s statements of blackmailing character would make the situation more complicated.
“War is not a desirable event. It means new slaughters and new bloodshed. Aggressive Armenia should understand it. Nagorno Karabakh conflict remains unsolved and causes trouble for the region because of their fault. Therefore, war may be real despite any situation in connection with the conflict,” he said.
According to the spokesman, Azerbaijani territories remain under occupation and being the side undergoing aggression it is our right to free them.
“No one can prohibit it. The factors nearing the war are obvious. Armenia’s statements of blackmailing character make the situation more complicated. That’s why, peaceful solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be taken into consideration. Unfortunately, OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries made the settlement of the conflict more complicated, when they cast doubt on the just resolution of the UN General Assembly on the “Situation in the occupied Azerbaijani territories”. They showed that they took side with Armenia and supported the aggressor. UN had adopted the resolution demanding unconditional withdrawal of the Armenian forces from Azerbaijani territories and envisaging the settlement of the conflict with mediation of OSCE Minsk Group. In fact, it meets the interests of both sides and the entire mankind. This is the most effective and just way to prevent the war. This is the essence of the peaceful resolution of the UN. But Minsk Group co-chairing countries left the resolution aside and chose a more dangerous way. They added fuel to the fire instead of solving the conflict. How could it be that the UN sanctions and resolutions are effective when they are in favor of them, and the resolution on Azerbaijan is ineffective? Is it just? The co-chairing countries showed what double standards are. No one can threaten us with statements to break off the negotiations,” he said.
Eldar Sabiroghlu noted that Azerbaijan would never agree to the occupation of its territories and would restore its territorial integrity at any cost.
“Azerbaijan’s mighty state, unanimous people and strong army make the realization of our wish available. It is not too far,” he said.
