“The meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan held last week in Vienna was a productive one with the concrete agreements and commitments, including unconditional implementation of 1994-1995 cease-fire agreements, creation of investigation mechanism, and enhance the capacities of the office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office,” Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated at the 7th European Union and Eastern Partnership Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held in Brussels.

Minister Nalbandian emphasized with regret that only days after the meeting Azerbaijani officials are making futile attempts to cast doubt on its outcome, presenting their own distorted interpretations contradicting the statement made on the results of the meeting by the high representatives of the Co-Chair countries.

“Baku is trying to distract the attention of the international community from crimes committed by Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the vivid facts of the gross violations by Azerbaijan of the International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law,” the minister noted.

At the same time Edward Nalbandian stressed that Armenia together with the Co-Chair countries will do its utmost for the implementation of the agreements reached in Vienna to continue efforts for the exclusively peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
