    ARMENIAN FM AGAIN SLAMS AZERBAIJAN OVER TORPEDOING PEACE INITIATIVES

    Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian has again accused
    Azerbaijan of declining all peace initiatives advanced by international
    mediators to settle the protracted conflict in Karabakh, suggesting
    that Baku and the international community are speaking "different
    languages".

    In an interview with the Austrian news agency, the top Armenian
    diplomat visiting Vienna said that Azerbaijan even rejects confidence
    building measures, such as strengthening the ceasefire, withdrawing
    snipers and creating mechanisms to investigate ceasefire violations.

    "They have an illusion that with the help of revenues from petrol and
    natural gas they can buy everything: friends on the international arena
    and beneficial resolutions for them. Why the settlement process hasn't
    succeeded till now? Because the international community and Azerbaijan
    speak different languages," said Nalbandian in an extended interview.

    "While we have gathered in Vienna to promote the dialogue between
    civilizations, the civilizational abyss between Azerbaijan and the
    international community is deepening," stressed the Armenian foreign
    minister, pointing at cases of propagation of intolerance and hatred
    in the neighboring republic, including the glorification of an
    axe-murderer of an Armenian and an Azeri novelist being persecuted
    for presenting Armenians in a positive light.

    Nalbandian also stressed that Turkey cannot have a role as a mediator
    in the process as it unilaterally advocates Azerbaijan. "If Turkey
    has a willingness to promote a peaceful settlement, it had better not
    intervene in this process at all," stressed the top Armenian diplomat.
