Vardan Oskanyan: "I am anxious about Azerbaijan's refusal to follow regulations fixed in the negotiated document"

The due announcement was made by Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan.

"If Azerbaijan continues to insist on the regulations, fixed in the resolution, the process will be destroyed, not because Armenia will withdraw from the negotiations, but because there will be no contact points. We can announce to Azerbaijan that we do not see the contact points and if Azerbaijan wants to persuade the Karabakh authorities, it will have to speak with them", Oskanyan noted.

He said the document proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on the conflict settlement has nothing in common with the regulations of the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly.

The Armenian Foreign Minister reminded that this situation is similar to that in 1996 when the Minsk process was undermined by announcements of the OSCE chairman-in-office during the Lisbon summit. He said at that time Azerbaijan insisted on holding negotiation process on basis of this announcement, however, it further understood the absurdity of this demand.

"I am anxious about Azerbaijan's refusal to follow regulations fixed in the negotiated document. I do hope Azerbaijan will understand the impossibility of settling the problem by such resolutions", Oskanyan noted.
