Azerbaijani Prime Minister Artur Rasizade commented on the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s statement made during the Dushanbe CIS summit, RIA Novosti reports.

"One side - the CIS member has committed aggression against anither member-country, occupied 20 percent of its territories, as a result of which there are one million refugees and displaced persons," Rasizade said. "I did not want to darken today's anniversary session, but the Armenian President’s statement on the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh forces me to do it," he said.

He added that Armenia’s unconstructive position in the settlement of the difficult and protracted conflict was once again demonstrated at the CIS summit.

Rasizade added that Azerbaijan will further continue to actively participate in the OSCE Minsk Group activities and support other initiatives in the hope of "peaceful and just resolution of this issue within the framework of international law".

Rasizade also thanked the OSCE Minsk Group, as well as the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for efforts taken to resolve the conflict. He expressed the hope that these steps "will be crowned with success."
