YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 3, ARMENPRESS:
Recently quite sensitive statements have been voiced connected with Azerbaijan's becoming non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian stated at the National Assembly today, adding that there is no need to treat it with such emotions.
As to the transfer of the NK issue to the Security Council, Nalbandian said the co-chairing countries are permanent members of the Security Council and have many times stated that the issue must be solved within the framework of the OSCE Minsk group and not be transferred to other platforms. "I think the clear response has been given and there is no need to fall into senses because of statements of Azerbaijan," the minister stressed.
To say that becoming of the member of the Security Council witnesses that the international community assists the decision of Azerbaijan is not right, Nalbandian stressed. "Today Azerbaijan has put itself in a deadlock as the international community has already expressed its decision that corresponds to the one of Armenia and not Azerbaijan's," the minister stressed.
He said these opinions have been expressed on the highest levels in L'Aquila, Muskoka, Deauville as well as within the framework of the OSCE – in Athens, Helsinki, Almaty and Astana. "And during the Kazan meeting Baku rejected the presented documents," the minister reminded, stressing that Armenia's positions coincide with the statements and documents and on their basis our country is ready to continue the talks and solve the issue.
"Armenia will continue the balanced policy connected with the NK conflict settlement, establishment of stability in the region and good-neighborly relations," Nalbandian pointed out.
