ArmInfo.In public statements, it is necessary to exercise restraint so as not to harm the negotiations, if, of course, there is a desire to fulfill its obligations in the framework of the process.
This was stated by the press secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Anna Naghdalyan, commenting on another statement by Elmar Mamedyarov on the Karabakh issue.She noted that this, especially, concerns those cases when an attempt is made to present one's one- sided position as a precondition. "It's not necessary to determine the will of the people of Nagorno- Karabakh instead of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh," Naghdalyan said, stressing that preconditions, and even more sothreats, will not affect the position of the Armenian side in the negotiations.She noted that occasionally voiced pessimistic or optimistic statements are also not effective methods for solving a problem.
"It is necessary to be realistic and adhere to our obligations in order to achieve a settlement of the conflict acceptable to all parties," Naghdalyan said.It should be noted that in his today's interview, the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mamedyarov, in particular, stressed that in 2019 official Baku expects Yerevan to withdraw the Armenian armed forces from the territories controlled by the Armenian side."We hope that in the coming 2019, certain progress will be achieved in terms of the withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and the normalization of relations between the two countries," said Mammadyarov. He also declared Baku's readiness to provide a high degree of autonomy to Nagorno-Karabakh and ensure its security.
