Baku is ready to negotiate with Nagorno Karabakh, if the NKR
citizens accept Azerbaijani citizenship. Elmar Mamedyarov, foreign
minister of Azerbaijan, made such a statement. According to him,
it is quite possible to hold negotiations with Nagorno Karabakh,
if the NKR Armenians accept Azerbaijani citizenship, recognize the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, its laws and Armenia leaves the
negotiation process.
"But I am afraid that Armenia doesn't want Azerbaijan to hold direct
negotiations with the Armenian community of Nagorno Karabakh,"
Mamedyarov shared his fears with journalists. He added that if no
progress is achieved in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
process, "Azerbaijan will have to use force to take back its occupied
territories."
Naturally, the foreign ministry of Nagorno Karabakh responded
these absurd statements. According to NKR foreign ministry, the NKR
citizens were never and will never be Azerbaijani citizens. Besides,
NKR authorities were always for their participation in the
peaceful settlement negotiations as full-fledged side without any
pre-conditions.
Hamlet Gasparian, spokesperson of RA Foreign Ministry, stated in
the interview to PanAremain.net that Armenia can't seriously treat
the statements of the Azerbaijani diplomats and will not step out of
the negotiations.
We just want to add that by making such absurd and idle statements
Mamedyarov tries to restore his own rating or has quite extraordinary
illusions. We wonder, what they are going to negotiate over if the
NKR people accept the conditions of Mamedyarov.
