NKR: Baku statements thwart international efforts for Karabakh conflict resolution

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan's attempts to impose on the mediators and the world community its own vision for the Nagorno Karabakh problem and the ways of its settlement are not a novelty, the NKR Foreign Ministry said.



"Baku resorts to different techniques, in particular, presents itself as a victim of its own aggression launched against the people of NKR and uses slogans for European values and democracy as a cover for its goals," Georgy Petrossian said.



"Meanwhile, the latest statements by the Azerbaijani leadership, in particular, the peculiar interpretation of provisions of the Moscow Declaration by Ilham Aliyev, i.e the political settlement of the conflict does not exclude use of force, as well as the above-mentioned Azerbaijani principles of conflict settlement demonstrate all the hypocrisy of the Azerbaijani diplomacy and thwart the efforts of the international community to find ways of peaceful resolution of the conflict. Moreover, this kind of actions by Azerbaijan show not only disrespect for the international mediators' work, but also create an impression of Azerbaijan as an improper partner, which is ready to denounce a previous agreement the very next day," he said.
