RA MFA surprised at Azerbaijan's outrageous diplomatic tactlessness
The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is surprised at Azerbaijan's outrageous diplomatic tactlessness.
"However, Azeri tactlessness is not a novelty. Ibrahim's statements demonstrate his diplomatic ignorance both of international law and the Karabakh process," head of the media relation division Tigran Balayan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, when commenting on Ibrahim's statement on Armenian foreign policy.
"Moreover, he ventures to comment not only ministers but heads of state," Balayan added.
In his recent comment, Khazar Jbrahim said that "Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is either cynical or unable to understand the state of affairs if he speaks of conflict resolution on the basis of the right to self-determination."
Earlier Minister Nalbandian said, "Today, talks base on the documents and principles proposed by the mediators, article 2 of the Helsinki Final Act on non-use of force, article 4 which mentions territorial integrity and article 8 which fixes the right of nations to self-determination."
