Baku blames Armenian MFA for incompetence 

ArmInfo. Azerbaijani MFA press service head Hikmet Hajiev commented on Armenia's Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian's statement made yesterday saying that the UN SC resolutions were aimed at settling peace in the zone of Karabakh 

conflict and not at handover of the territories which are under Armenian control.  

Touching upon the given statement Hajiev blamed Armenian Foreign 

Ministry for incompetence. "There is an impression that either 

Armenian MFA is not familiar to UN SC resolutions and to the Helsinki 

Final Act, or they specially distort their essence.  Nobody has the 

right to distort the essence of the UN resolutions, which are 

principle bases for the settlement of the conflict, condemn the use 

force against Azerbaijan, occupation of its territories, recognize 

the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, once 

again confirm the inviolability of internationally recognized 

borders. It is emphasized that the change of internationally 

recognized borders through force is unacceptable. In the mentioned 

resolutions is said that the Artsakh region is an integral part of 

Azerbaijan. These documents demand immediate, full and unconditional 

withdrawal of the Armenian troops from the occupied territories", APA 

cit Hajiev. Hajiev also reminded to Nalbandian about the OSCE MG 

statement on the level of the heads of states co-chairs of July 10, 

2009 in Acquile and of June 26 2010 in Moscow. "In these statements 

of OSCE MG is said the in accordance with the elements modified on 

the basis of Helsinki Final Act, the first stage supposes the return 

of the territories around Artsakh.  The first point of the renewed 

Madrid Principles supposes stages settlement of the conflict. The 

essence of the St. Petersburg meeting and the essence of the document 

which is on the table of negotiations is about that", Hajiev said. 

To note, in the eve, Nalbandian, touching upon the statement of the 

Azeri colleague Elmar Mammedyarov that a new document is now on the 

negotiation table, noted that it is the fantasies of Baku, as at the 

last Moscow meeting no new document was discussed but the text for 

Media, which was discussed by the ministers in the presence of 

mediators. Speaking about the UN SC resolutions Nalbandian said that 

they were aimed at cease of military actions in the zone of Karabakh 

conflict, it was not about the essence of the negotiation process. 

Nalbandian was recalling Minsk intermediaries all the time.
