BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 29. Yerevan's
destructive activity doesn't serve to restore regional peace,
Spokesperson of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Aykhan Hajizada
said regarding the claims of Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat
Mirzoyan in an interview with Armenpress News Agency on November
28, trend reports citing the Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry.
'Mirzoyan's attempt to distort the Azerbaijan-Armenia
negotiations, the preparation of a peace agreement, delimitation
process, landmine threat, as well as the recognition of territorial
integrity, is completely false and unacceptable,' said
Hajizada.
According to the statement, terms put forward by Armenia for
attending the next meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian
leaders, and Mirzoyan's statement in the mentioned interview that
such a meeting can only take place with the participation of the
French president, testify to the Armenian side's failure to fulfill
its obligations.
'The official has also forgotten that the next trilateral
meeting between the leaders was agreed upon not in Prague, but in
Brussels on August 31,' Hajizada said.
'Despite the Brussels agreement on the next meeting,
unfortunately Azerbaijan's consent to Prague meeting and to the
participation of French President alongside President of the
European Council Charles Michel was misused later on. As a matter
of fact, this has demonstrated that French side is not an impartial
and fair mediator. Unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan has not given up on
the negotiations between the leaders, and is committed to
continuing the negotiations in accordance with the Brussels
agreement,' Hajizada noted.
Regarding the agreement on the delimitation process, the
official said that contrary to the Armenian foreign minister's
claim, the statements of both the Prague and Sochi meetings
provided for conducting delimitation based on the mutual
recognition of territorial integrity and sovereignty, as stated in
the UN Charter and the Alma-Ata Declaration.
In total, the mentioned principles are referring to the UN
Charter and the Alma-Ata Declaration, and the Armenian side is well
aware that there was no mention at these meetings about what map
the delimitation should be based on. The delimitation process
should be based on analysis of all legally significant
documents.
