Yerevan, 2 July: Azerbaijan's military rhetoric proves the lack of
readiness of the country for compromise and peaceful settlement of the
Nagornyy Karabakh [NKR] conflict. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan said this at a news conference in Yerevan when commenting on
the latest statement of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
Oskanyan said that Baku's bellicose statement is unacceptable and has a
negative effect at the negotiations process. Apart from that, the
frequency of bellicose rhetoric creates a situation where belief
emerges that it is improbable and helps to support the bellicose spirit
of Azerbaijan.
"This is where I see the threat, and if they have begun to believe in
it, we start to understand that Azerbaijan will not compromise," the
minister said.
Speaking of what aims Aliyev is following by making such statements,
Oskanyan expressed hope that "they are intended for domestic use.
However, globally, any statements receive wide advertisement by the
world community. Thus, it turns out that all the statements are
intended for a regional and global audience," Oskanyan stressed. He
added that Armenia has always said that it does not see and not suggest
a military solution to the NKR conflict. "A military solution to the
conflict should be eliminated because it is unreal. The only way to
resolving the conflict is the ability to compromise," Oskanyan said.
