Baku. Ramiz Mikayiloglu - APA. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov answered the questions of the parliamentarians at the
meeting of the PACE Standing Committee in Baku, APA reports.
Touching on the decision of the European Court of Human Rights on
chairman of REAL Movement Ilgar Mammadov, Mammadyarov noted that a
judicial proceeding would be carried out within legal procedures.
Commenting on the remarks on human rights, Mammadyarov said he agrees
that it is necessary to work more on human rights in Azerbaijan:
"It is important to change the philosophy and ideas of the people. The
main thing is to start the process and I assure you that this process
has begun in Azerbaijan."
The Foreign Minister said he believes that diplomatic means for the
resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have not been exhausted:
"Madrid suggestions were very real suggestions, we could move forward
step by step. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict can't be solved overnight,
it is a deep-rooted conflict. The consequences of hot war should be
eliminated, and then an atmosphere of trust should be created among
the people. The most important threat is that the Armenian armed
forces are in the territories of Azerbaijan. Firstly, Armenian armed
forces must withdraw from Nagorno Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions.
Armenians have never lived in those places. Then, the communication
must be restored. This type of approach is important. Armenian armed
forces' being in the occupied territories is an irritant action."
