Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 27
Trend:
Armenian authorities' statement that "Nagorno-Karabakh is an inseparable part of Armenia" is another proof of occupation of Azerbaijani territories, the legal and political responsibility of Armenia, and its true face, said Hikmet Hajiyev, head of press service of Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry.
He made the remarks Sept. 27 commenting on the mentioned statement made by the Armenian authorities.
"At a time when negotiations are underway at the 70th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York with a mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict's settlement, such an irresponsible statement by Armenian authorities with regard to violation of Azerbaijan's sovereignty and annexation of its territories is a clear evidence of syndrome of impunity, arbitrariness and disrespect for international law, the UN Charter, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, the negotiation process and the international community," said Hajiyev.
"This statement clearly implies international legal and political responsibility," he added.
Hajiyev also noted that Azerbaijan has repeatedly declared and proved, on the basis of undeniable evidence, that Armenia's participation in the negotiation process is only an imitation and is misleading the international community.
He further said Yerevan's purpose is to preserve the current status quo, which is based on annexation and occupation of the territories of Azerbaijan.
