Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry commented on the statement of OSCE MG CO-Chairs made on February 19, APA reports.
Spokesman for Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim noted that Co-Chairs focused on two main issues.“The Co-Chairs stated that they would not conduct legal discussions basing on Azerbaijani documents in the UN in December, 2008 and noted that the conflict had not military solution. I should note that Azerbaijan made such statements basing on norms and principles of international law and it will be so henceforth. All international documents including UN Charter envisage legal norms and principles, which are guided by Azerbaijan. Moscow Declaration signed by three Presidents on November 2 envisages possibility of solution to the conflict within the framework of international norms and principles and documents and decisions adopted within them. Therefore such kind of steps taken by Azerbaijan is inevitable. Azerbaijani President has stated several times that official Baku supports peaceful solution to the conflict and peaceful settlement of the conflict should be grounded on international norms and principles. As regards non existence of military way of the conflict, Armenia tried to solve the problem via military ways and tries at present. Azerbaijani lands have been occupied by Armenian armed forces. The co-chairs’ such kind of statements should be directed to Armenia and Armenia should be demanded to solve the conflict basing on international legal norms and withdraw its troops from the occupied lands unambiguously,” he said.
Ibrahim underlined that Azerbaijan spread analogical documents in the UN in various forms before.
“It does not mean that we should not raise the issue again. There are various documents within the framework of the UN that both UN Security Council and General Assembly have approved them. These statements being as documents of both Security Council and General Assembly have been spread as 13th and 18th points of current session,” he said.
