AZERI FM ON KARABAKH CONFLICT: KALASHNIKOV GUN DOES NOT HELP TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, IT AGGRAVATES THEM

PanARMENIAN.Net - "I hope that we have a chance to achieve progress in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, because the Prague process has justified itself", Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov told Russian journalists. "The agreements we have already achieved allowed the co-ordination of the negotiation format. That is why we expect Russia - our friend, partner and co-chair in the settlement process along with the US and France - to intensify its efforts for the conflict settlement. Today it becomes clear that if we look back to the past it will be difficult to think of the future. I suppose it is comprehended in Moscow, Baku and I hope in Yerevan as well", the Minister said. "The modern world has changed but we as if continue perceiving it from the standpoint of Yalta of 1945. Now the challenges to the international community are quite different. States, the members of the international community should take into account the idea of integration and the new code of interaction in the international relationships. The Kalashnikov gun cannot help to solve problems; it only aggravates them. The method of drawing the state borders with a red pencil has remained in the past", Elmar Mamedyarov added.
