YEREVAN. July 12 (Interfax) - Azerbaijan has been trying to ignore the agreements reached at the summits in Vienna and St. Petersburg but Yerevan will carry on its efforts towards peaceful resolution of the Karabakh problem, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said.
"The primary objective of the summits held in Vienna and St. Petersburg was to stabilize the situation in the Karabakh conflict zone, which resulted from massive aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh unleashed by Azerbaijan in April and accompanied by flagrant violations of international humanitarian laws and human rights," the Armenian Foreign Ministry quoted Nalbandian as saying at an informal meeting of foreign ministers from the EU Eastern Partnership program in Kyiv.
The summit agreements on resolving the conflict with exclusively peaceful methods, strict compliance with trilateral open-ended ceasefire agreements of 1994-1995, introduction of incident prevention mechanisms and expansion of the team of the OSCE chairperson-in-office's personal representative should be implemented in order to create conditions for further negotiations, he said.
"Alas, Azerbaijan has been trying to ignore the agreements and to hinder the peace process after those two summits. Armenia and the OSCE Minsk Group cochairmen will continue their joint efforts aimed at exclusively peaceful resolution of the Karabakh problem," Nalbandian said.
