It is necessary to redouble, or triple the efforts to resolve the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in an interview with TRT World, Trend reports.
He noted that the situation on the line of contact is not so good. Armenia violates the ceasefire much often, said the foreign minister.
“We call it sporadic shootings. More serious clashes can be started after this sporadic shootings. Trenches on the line of contact are very near to each other. Sometimes the distance between the trenches is less than 100 meters. Of course, that is a huge danger.” he said. “I don’t think that diplomacy is exhausted. But we need to redouble, or triple our efforts.”
The minister noted that in order to achieve the conflict’s settlement, first of all, Armenian troops should be withdrawn from Azerbaijan’s occupied territories.
“We have agreed to seriously intensify the negotiations after the completion of electoral processes in Azerbaijan and Armenia. At the end of the story, we will bring some result. We expect it to be a just result. Because the international law is on the side of Azerbaijan,” Mammadyarov added.
