    Armenian activities on occupied lands affect talks - diplomat

    BAKU

    Intensified actions of Armenia on the occupied Azerbaijani lands
    "have a negative effect on the negotiations," Deputy Foreign Minister
    and special representative of the Azerbaijani president to the
    Karabakh settlement negotiations Araz Azimov said at a Friday
    briefing in Baku.

    He said the question of illegal settlements on occupied lands, which
    Azerbaijan had raised at the United Nations, was very important.
    Azerbaijan "raised the question not for the sake of political
    speculations but proceeding from international legal norms," he said.

    "We are ready for negotiations with Armenia but we think that
    activities on the occupied lands have a negative effect on the
    negotiations. So we suggest stopping these activities," Azimov said.

    He said materials on settlements and economic activities on the
    occupied lands had been transferred to the OSCE mission made up of
    experts of Russia, the United States, France, Germany, Sweden,
    Finland and Italy.

    The mission will go to the occupied lands in a day to familiarize
    with the local situation, verify facts received from Azerbaijan and
    draft a report. The report as such "will not solve the problem," the
    diplomat said. "Our main goal is to stop activities of the occupied
    territories."
