G Minasyan: Baku trying to convince Karabakh conflict not frozen

 “It’s not the first time that Azerbaijan undertakes provocative actions prior to the arrival of a senior official and even during the visit, and the reason seems obvious. The Azerbaijani authorities intend to convince the international community that the conflict of Karabakh is not frozen. However, rhetoric statements claiming armed settlement for the conflict are not realistic,” Republican MP Gagik Minasyan said.

Attempts of assault were recorded on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border as Azerbaijani armed forces were attacking the border in recent two days. In the aftermath of the border unrest the two sides recorded casualties and injuries. Besides, Azerbaijani side is intensively firing against Armenian residences.

“In this respect, Mrs Clinton’s statement that the NK conflict has no and cannot have an armed resolution is greatly signified. In fact Mrs Clinton’s statement cause hysteria in Azerbaijan, since it broke Azerbaijan’s efforts or intentions to settle the conflict through increasing military revenues, investments,” G Minasyan said.

The MP hailed U.S. Congressmen’s statements condemning Azerbaijan’s hysteria and casualties on the line of contact.
“I think the OSCE Minsk Group should adopt this position, too. The group is accredited by an international mandate and their unaddressed statements back Azerbaijani actions,” said the MP.
