ArmInfo.Azerbaijan is the adept of the peaceful settlement of the conflict through negotiantions within the framework of international law. This is stated in the article written by Azrbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, published in Nezavisimaya Gazeta weekly due to 25 th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Russia and Azerbaijan.
"Azerbaijan applies many efforts to decrease the tension and to set the climate of good neighborhood. The occupation of our territories by Armenia, failing to implement four resolutions of UN Security Council about full and immediate withdrawal of Armenian forces from seized districts of Azerbaijan - are the main reason raising obstacles for the sustainability in the region. Our country follows peaceful principles of Karabakh conflict settlement. That is why we hope al the members of international community will take a principal position in respect to recovery of Azerbaijan territorial integrity," Mammadyarov stated.
At that Azerbaijani Prime Minister mentioned the special role of Russian Federation in this process, as one of OSCE MG co chairs and a member of UN Security council, as well as the country, having tight historical relations with southern Caucasus. "Recent negotiations held between Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents based on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, inspired certain hope that the negotiations on Armenian military forces withdrawal will succeed at last. But, to my regrets, after the meeting mentioned, Armenia tries to avoid the continuation by all means."
