“It is necessary to show the international community the possible consequences of Aliyev’s decisions for all the remaining countries. Works must be done on this path, it is necessary to do so that Azerbaijan’s such demands are not satisfied at all. MEPs are in the wanted list, I think this issue will be discussed in the agenda of the European Parliament. I am more than convinced that they will criticize Azerbaijan,” he said.
Gor Khudikyan, a 26 year old soldier of the Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army, was shot dead around 00:45, February 23, in a military base of the Defense Army stationed in the northern direction, in circumstances which are yet to be revealed.
“The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan supported this in the documents signed by them. OSCE all members also supported this cochairmanship format,” Lavrov said.
“Everything depends on Azerbaijan’s internal condition. It’s known that the so-called “Karabakh issue” is a means to divert Azerbaijanis from economic and social issues. Oil trough is being failed, and mid-clan struggle is increasing. All this, of course, causes concerns.”
I urge all concerned to show greater political will, not only to strengthen the ceasefire regime and implement previous commitments, but to renew a sustainable and comprehensive negotiation process,” the UN chief said.
The defense ministry of Nagorno Karabakh informed the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s report on the Nagorno Karabakh forces making a sabotage infiltration attempt overnight February 21 and retreating by suffering losses is a false report.
“An intensity of interactions and close coordinating is seen between the foreign ministries of the two countries within the frameworks of UN, EEU, CSTO, CIS, OSCE, BSEC and other entities and organizations,” the Russian Ministry said.
“The referendum held on February 20 is yet another evidence of the determination of the people of Artsakh to organise their public life by democratic processes. The current Constitutional Referendum is aimed at choosing the system of governance that the people of Nagorno-Karabakh consider more relevant to their needs.”
“Artsakh’s political system has a peculiarity, both political figures of Artsakh and authorities, as well as, people are getting prepared, accordingly, they strive to develop political structures.”
“I congratulate the Nagorno Karabakh Republic for organizing this kind of referendum. This referendum together with the new Constitution will open a new path for independence of Karabakh,” he said.
