Novruz Mammadov
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group should show a greater activeness
and principality in Karabakh airport issue.
The attempts of the Armenian side to open an airport in Nagorno
Karabakh are aimed at undermining the negotiation process of the
peaceful resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno
Karabakh.
The statement came from deputy chief of the presidential
administration of Azerbaijan, chief of the department for external
ties of the presidential administration of Azerbaijan Novruz Mammadov.
He said Azerbaijan's position is known worldwide and it is supported
by everyone including ICAO.
`However, we believe that the world community including the co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group should show a greater activeness and
principality in this issue', he said.
As for the recent statements of the Armenian President, Serzh
Sargsyan, Mammadov noted that all statements of the Armenian
leadership are aimed at retaining power.
`As usual, they use the Karabakh card for this purpose. But they
should realize that by such destructive statements they harm not only
the peace process but also the interests of the Armenian people', he
said.
`Unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan has always been firm about its principles.
The Armenian leadership is still unconstructive in the negotiation
process', he said.
As for the transfer of the Russian arms to Armenia, Mammadov said that
this issue is the focus of official Baku and Azerbaijan will express
its position by results of studying it.
