Spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hikmet Hajiyev has commented on the reports about Uruguay’s Foreign Ministry’s call to recognize Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent state.
Hajiyev said that under the instructions of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, the country’s embassy in Uruguay would investigate this issue along with Uruguay’s Foreign Ministry: “In most cases, Armenian mass media outlets, like “asberaz.com” distort such news, especially disseminate them in the form out of context. The statements of Danilo Astori, Vice-President, and President of the Senate of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay have been recently distorted. Uruguay’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Danilo Astori said this report is untrue, he didn’t make such statements and Uruguay’s position is to support a peaceful resolution of the conflict through dialogue and negotiations taking into account the interests of the conflicting parties,” Hajiyev said.
