The latest statement by Press Secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Hamlet Gasparian in nothing but a “political maneuver”, head of the department of foreign affairs of the Azerbaijani president administration Novruz Mamedov stated, Trend news agency reports. To remind, when commenting on the inclusion of the issue “On the seized territories of Azerbaijan” in the agenda of the UN General Assembly 60-th Session Hamlet Gasparian stated that Armenia’s position underwent no changes: should Azerbaijan raise the Karabakh issue during the UN Session Armenia will quit the negotiations and Baku will have to hold talks directly with Stepanakert. “This message is the evidence of Armenia’s concern. It means that Azerbaijan’s position on Nagorno Karabakh has strengthened and meets support of international organizations and countries. The inclusion of the issue “On the seized territories of Azerbaijan” in the UN agenda is a logical consequence of events. It’s not strange and it’s our right,” Mamedov said. In his words, “Armenia sees that Azerbaijan’s position on Karabakh meets greater support of the international community and tries to threaten Azerbaijan with suspension of the talks.” “It’s not easy to abandon the negotiation process. First, the lands are occupied and talks are being held. Second, if Armenia really intends to quit the process we will get the possibility to negotiate with the Armenians of Karabakh. We do not see any problem in it,” Mamedov assured.
