ArmInfo.During the visit of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to the region, the position of Azerbaijan on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was again brought to their attention. The head of the foreign policy department of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan, Hikmet Hajiyev, said this, Trend reports on Monday.
Hajiyev noted that if we pay attention to the conflict resolution process, at present there are certain complaints from the Armenian side, which is detrimental to the general spirit of the negotiation process. "We believe that the international community and the co-chair countries, by making more active efforts, should ensure the constructive role of Armenia in the negotiation process. Azerbaijan supports the negotiation process, and our constructive position is highly appreciated by the world community," Hajiyev assured. At the same time, he once again accused Armenia of carrying out allegedly illegal activities in Nagorno-Karabakh, assuring that this creates serious problems for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
According to him, the Armenian side "exploits the natural and mineral wealth of Azerbaijan, supplying them to world markets." "However, the Armenian side does not comply with international laws. Based on the appeal of the Azerbaijani side, the OSCE mission investigating the facts monitored the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and the illegal activities of Armenia were confirmed. This illegal activities of Armenia impede the peaceful resolution of the conflict. Azerbaijan appeals to international organizations and other states that they prohibit their businesses and individuals from operating in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan " , he said, adding that Azerbaijan will continue to voice this issue at international platforms.
