The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry commented on the statement of the Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"It seems Nalbandian has no idea about what is being discussed in the negotiation process," the official representative of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, Hikmet Hajiyev, said.
He noted that the Armenian foreign minister, who states that Yerevan is allegedly, committed to the conflict’s settlement with the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, never finds the courage to refer to the updated Madrid principles, the first paragraph of which envisages the withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from the occupied Azerbaijani territories. Hajiyev said that the Madrid principles are a road map for settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The representative of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry noted that Armenia, by keeping Azerbaijani lands under occupation, maintaining the status quo, "aims to continue the occupation of these territories by imitating the peace process", Trend reports.
