Answer by MFA Spokesperson Tigran Balayan to a question of Radio Liberty
Question: How would you comment the statements of the President of Azerbaijan on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in his interview to RIA Novosti?
Answer: The remarks of the leader of Azerbaijan should be viewed as another failed attempt to turn the reality upside-down and to distort the negotiation process.
Aliyev himself cited the statements of the leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries, which stipulate that the status of Nagorno-Karabakh will be determined through the legally binding expression of will of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.
