    ARMENIA SURPRISED BY AZERI DIPLOMAT'S STATEMENTS ON KARABAKH

    Armenia said Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov exaggerated
    the actual state of affairs, when he said Armenian troops could be
    withdrawn from Nagorno-Karabakh.

    "It is not the first time Mr. Azimov has engaged in wishful thinking,"
    Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balaian told Interfax
    on Wednesday.

    Azimov earlier said in an interview with the BBC that, "a population
    comprising two communities as a minimum - Azeris and Armenians -
    will live in Nagorno-Karabakh as part of the Republic of Azerbaijan."

    Azimov also claimed Azerbaijan would guarantee that the Armenian
    troops will not come under attack in the process of withdrawal from
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    "We must create an environment of security and economic activities
    favorable for civilians' residence. If we are to enter this stage,
    we must launch the rehabilitation of the territory and we must cleanse
    it," Azimov was quoted as saying.
