Vardanyan's coming dealt a blow to the dialogue between Armenians and Azerbaijanis - Bayramov
Baku/27.12.22/Turan: The withdrawal of illegal armed groups from Karabakh is the obligation of Armenia, and Azerbaijan raises this issue every time during the negotiations. "We will continue to raise this issue further," Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said during a press conference in Baku on Tuesday. He confirmed Baku's position that all rights are guaranteed to ethnic Armenians in Karabakh and Baku is open to dialogue on this issue.
“Certain steps are being taken in this direction, and they will continue. If someone deliberately interferes in this process and a person with a dirty reputation is introduced into the region, then this is a blow to normalization and dialogue. Azerbaijan is able to stop all this,” - Bayramov said, referring to Ruben Vardanyan, with whom Baku "will not have any contact."
Touching upon the issues of damage to the ecology of the region, the minister said that in early 2023, Azerbaijan will file lawsuits against Armenia for environmental damage and illegal exploitation of resources. ---02D--
