Baku - APA. "Armenia told Baku that it needs time to withdraw troops
from a part of occupied territories of Azerbaijan", Deputy Foreign
Minister of Azerbaijan, Special Representative of the President of
Azerbaijan for the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict Araz Azimov
told Public Television of Azerbaijan.
He also made comments on the conditions of opening the Turkish-Armenian
borders. "The Turkish-Armenian borders could be opened in the first
stage only under the conditions of withdrawal of Armenian troops from
five occupied regions of Azerbaijan and Lachin corridor. It will create
conditions for Turkish-Armenian cooperation, as well as trilateral
trade relations between Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Rejecting
all these conditions Armenia lost everything.
Armenia can lose good prospects because of political views of president
Sargsyan or anyone else".
Azimov said there should be suitable conditions for returning of
Azerbaijanis to Nagorno Karabakh and living together with Armenians
there, giving temporary status to them, as well as beginning of
economic restoration by the Government of Azerbaijan there. The
deputy minister said it was impossible in present time and added
that it needs to restore the Constitution of Azerbaijan in Nagorno
Karabakh and the status should be determined within the Constitution
and coordinated with the local people. "It should be carried out
phase-by-phase. The regions of Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Zangilan,
Gubadli and Lachin corridor must be liberated. Armenia says it needs
in time to withdraw its troops from Lachin and Kelbajar. This time
should be scheduled. The co-chairs have a proposal on this issue. It
needs to schedule not only the withdrawal from Lachin and Kelbajar,
but also for returning of Azerbaijanis to Karabakh. When they will
return and will they receive status by returning? The liberation of
five regions + Lachin corridor should be legalized with same document".
Regarding the replacing of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries,
Azimov said this issue was not on agenda in present time.
