Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has spread a comment on the statement of Uruguayan Foreign Minister Luis Almagro on Karabakh.
The comment reads:
As is seen, the information has been disseminated by Armenian news websites. We have historically been witnesses of distortion of information by Armenian mass media, who are always trying to set up the desire for the reality.
Our embassy in Buenos Aires is clarifying this situation and has already contacted the Foreign Ministry of Uruguay. While speaking to our ambassador in Buenos Aires Ahmedzade, Deputy Foreign Minister of Uruguay R.Carreras confirmed that Uruguay respects the principles of international law, supports territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the activity of the Minsk Group.
I have to repeat that our embassy continues dealing closely with this situation, the statement of the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan says.
Several hours ago Armenian media reported with joy about the so-called intention of Uruguay to recognize independence of the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh (the so-called "NKR").
At a meeting initiated by the Committee Hay Dat in South America and Uruguay-Armenia parliamentary group dedicated to Armenia-Uruguay ties on 9 September, Foreign Minister of Uruguay Luis Almagro allegedly called to recognize the separatist regime in Nagorno-Karabakh while speaking of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
According to Armtoday, Luis Almagro allegedly said: "I am convinced that Nagorno-Karabakh (occupied territories of Azerbaijan) must be independent and it will join Armenia over time. This is the only way to solve the problem.”
