BSEC Ankara Declaration doesn't reflect Azerbaijan's stand on Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - The text of the Ankara Declaration adopted by the summit of the Foreign Ministers of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation doesn't reflect Azerbaijan's stand on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.



The Armenian Foreign Ministry told PanARMENIAN.Net that Provision 14 of the Declaration reads, "We reaffirm that the existing protracted conflicts in the region impede cooperation and emphasize the need for their earliest peaceful settlement on the basis of the norms and principles of international law."



Azeri media circulated misinformation again, the Ministry said.



Trend Azeri news agency reported that "the Declaration reflects the position of Azerbaijan, which called on the BSEC member states to react to Armenia's aggressive policy destabilizing the entire region."
