Yerevan tries to inhibit substantive talks on Karabakh conflict
Armenia is trying to inhibit substantive talks on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by carrying out various provocations such as military exercises in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, Hikmat Hajiyev, spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry, told on Thursday.
He commented on Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian’s speech at the University of California, Berkeley.

The Armenian FM’s speech was again aimed at misleading the international community, noted the spokesman.

“In his speech, Nalbandian deliberately distorted the essence and results of the meetings held in Vienna and St. Petersburg,” said Hajiyev.

He added, the main result of the Saint Petersburg meeting was that the conflicting parties—Azerbaijan and Armenia—must begin substantive negotiations through the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group.

“And the final result of the substantive negotiations is about the change of the status quo and liberation of the occupied Azerbaijani lands. The substantive negotiations process is ongoing. But the Armenian side is trying to inhibit the process by carrying out various provocations such as military exercises in the occupied Azerbaijani territories and other provocative acts,” said the spokesman.
