Azerbaijan favours the early start of negotiations on the delimitation of the border with Armenia, the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the republic reads. The document was published on Saturday in connection with the recent tension on the border of the two countries.
“In recent days, the Armenian Armed Forces have continued provocations causing tension on the Kalbajar direction of the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border. Armenia’s accusations against Azerbaijan have no ground. Azerbaijan stands for the early start of negotiations on the delimitation of the border of the two countries," the statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reads.
The document stresses that "the continuation of provocative activities by Armenia, in particular, on the eve of the Moscow meeting of the consultative mechanism in the 3 + 3 format, demonstrates the aggressive position of this country and harms the efforts to build peace in the region."
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry also draws attention to the fact that if the Armenian side wants peace and stability in the region, then it must take real steps to normalize relations.
In this regard, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry called on Armenia "to abandon attempts to impede the peacebuilding process, purposefully creating tension in the region, and to fulfill its obligations in accordance with the trilateral statements."
