YEREVAN, MAY 4, ARMENPRESS. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian answered a question of a journalist referring Nagorno Karabakh conflict during a joint press conference in Prague. The Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov had answered the same question but, Nalbandian assessed it as “A very long lecture, but no answer to a very direct and very clear question”.  

“Armenpress” reports Nalbandian expressed concern over the fact that murderers are glorified in Azerbaijan. “It is enough to proclaim murderers as national heroes of Azerbaijan. It was done with Ramil Safarov and now, you know all the brutalities during a very large scale, very well planned and prepared aggressive military operations against Nagorno-Karabakh and during those operations, DAESH-style brutalities, maybe not DAESH-style, but Baku-style, because before it was the case of Ramil Safarov. Three captured Armenian soldiers were beheaded, and their heads were demonstrated in the villages and cities of Azerbaijan. And one of the murderers was proclaimed just two days ago by the Azerbaijani President as a national hero”.

Armenian Foreign Minister mentioned that he would not like to go deep into the conflict, but there are some evident facts. “The conflict was created by the aggression of Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh with the use of mercenaries, closely linked to notorious terrorist organizations. The Azerbaijani Foreign Minister recalled the four resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. Why four? Because after the adoption of each resolution, Azerbaijan rejected to respect them. And four resolutions were adopted with one goal - to stop hostilities. Azerbaijan did not respect them”, Nalbandian said, clarifying that the mentioned resolutions aiming to cease hostilities but not to solve territorial issues were adopted before the trilateral ceasefire was signed between Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.
