ArmInfo.The statements of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev delivered on May 27 once again demonstrate the non constructive approach, the arbitrary, false  interpretation of the agreements, and the continuation of aggressive  and warmongering policy by the Azerbaijani side.

The aspirations towards the sovereign territory of the neighbouring  country and standing from the position of use of force to achieve  these goals are nothing but a contempt for the norms of international  law, which seriously question the sincerity of Azerbaijan's  intentions to achieve peace in the region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia considers it necessary to  reiterate its principled position, namely that the negotiations on  normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan should be  held on the basis of proposals of both sides, which should address  the whole agenda of the issues, including the final settlement of the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

With its speculations, the Azerbaijani side attempts to present the  Nagorno-Karabakh issue as a territorial dispute while it is about the  realization of the rights of the Armenians of Artsakh and the  exclusion of the threat of ethnic cleansing.

In this regard, we remind that the international mandate of the OSCE  Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship received in 1995 to support the  comprehensive settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, does  exist.

We call on the leadership of Azerbaijan not to disrupt the  discussions conducted in the existing formats with warmongering,  expansionist rhetoric.

At the same time, we draw the attention of the international  community to the statements made by official Baku, and expect the  unequivocal attitude of our international partners, which will make  it possible to achieve stability and peace in the South Caucasus.
