Armenia speaks with facts, but Azerbaijan with imaginary impressions – FM Nalbandian

YEREVAN, JUNE 13, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijani officials have a unique talent to focus on something and constantly repeat it by devaluing the meaning of what they said and doing the opposite, Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said during a joint press conference with his Estonian counterpart Sven Mikser in Yerevan on June 13, commenting on the statement of Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov who said it’s time to change the status quo, Armenpress reports.

“In fact, Azerbaijan hinders and doesn’t implement the agreements reached at the meetings which would enable to move forward the negotiation process and change the status quo. Azerbaijan speaks about human rights, freedom of speech, but it does the opposite. It seems Baku’s brand is to say something and do the opposite”, Edward Nalbandian said.

He said it was Azerbaijan that didn’t maintain the agreement to publish the content of press release agreed between the Foreign Ministers in Moscow with participation of the Co-Chairs.

“The different between the approaches of Armenia and Azerbaijan is that we speak with facts, but they with impressions based on imaginations”, the Armenian FM said.

Commenting on Baku’s constant reference to UN Security Council’s resolutions, which, according to the Azerbaijani side, serve basis for the conflict settlement, Nalbandian said they are 4, and it is Azerbaijan that always refused to implement the previously adopted resolutions.

“When the UN Security Council’s resolutions were adopted, Azerbaijan after each resolution was refusing to implement the previous ones. Moreover, the talk was not about the negotiation process, they were directed towards ceasing military operations and establishing ceasefire”, Nalbandian said.
