Baku won’t cooperate with Armenia unless Karabakh conflict solved on its terms

PanARMENIAN.Net - Both cooperation and open borders with Armenia are out of the question unless Armenia returns liberated territories and Nagorno Karabakh problem gets resolved in the framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, head of Azeri delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC) said.

Asaf Gadjiev further commented on Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s speech addressed to PABSEC plenary session participants, in which he called attention to the problem of close borders in the region. The Azeri MP cited non-permanent membership in UN Security Council as a proof of international community’s support for the country’s foreign and domestic policy.

On May 21-23, PABSEC plenary sitting is underway in Yerevan, with 70 delegates from 10 countries participating in it.

Azerbaijan became a non-permanent member of UN Security Council in October, 2011.
