'At present a document, designed by the Minsk Group, is not accepted by Armenia.
Turkey has made it clear that it would not sacrifice its national interests for the sake of America and open borders with Armenia until the Armenian forces withdraw from the occupied lands of Azerbaijan.
And to this day it holds its position”, said chairman of the Party of Democratic Reforms, deputy Asim Mollazade.
'This proves that in a democratic country like the United States, the corresponding lobby organization of the ethnic diaspora, especially such a politically active diaspora as the Armenian, succeed in damaging the public interest of the United States, the national security interests of this country. In my view, the essence of this the problem lies precisely in this.
And this is Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani politicians were concerned about such support for Armenian separatists in the United States at a time when nearly a million of Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs cannot return to their homes, occupied by Armenians', he said.
The deputy also noted that Armenia avoids serious steps towards a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
'As you know, at present a document, designed by the Minsk Group, is not accepted by Armenia. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan accepts these proposals, putting forward its own compromises and demonstrating a positive attitude. But I would like to repeat that Armenia avoids making serious steps towards a peaceful settlement of the conflict. We therefore expect international organizations and states to hold policies calling Armenia to peace and compromise. We expect it both from the United States and from Russia and France.
Also, I would like to note that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will play a great role in this, as it was his initiative to hold meetings of the presidents at the official level and sign the Moscow Declaration. Therefore, I believe that the destructive position of Armenia does not only harms the image of the president of Russia, but also the heads of other countries, and Co-Chairs.
In my view, the other co-chairs of the Minsk Group should take serious steps in this direction and finally contribute to the economic and democratic development of the region. We - the people of Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani society - expect these steps from both the co-chairs and international organizations'.
