YEREVAN.- Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian commented on
Baku's accusations claiming Armenia is `to blame' that five-sided
statement on Karabakh was not adopted during the OSCE ministerial
council in Dublin.
Speaking during a joint press conference with his Bulgarian, Swedish
and Polish counterparts, Nalbandian offered to compare the statements
of Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers.
`Armenian FM's remarks coincide with the statements of Co-Chairing
states. Azerbaijani FM seems to speak only for himself,' he
emphasized.
Nalbandian stressed it is not the first time when the sides fail to
adopt a five-sided statement. It also happened in Almaty back in 2010.
`Azerbaijan was insisting there is only one principle of international
law - territorial integrity of the states - or, at least, this
principle must prevail. Finally, a third-sided statement was adopted.
It said all the principles and provisions proposed by the co-chairs
are integral and none of the principles can be prioritized,' he said.
The Minister noted that Azerbaijan, due to unclear reasons, did not
even want to mention the three principles in Dublin.
`Three-sided statement mentioning the principles was adopted by the
co-chairs. Armenia welcomes the statement made in Dublin,' he
concluded.
