Armenian FM: Shameful Azeri-Hungarian deal has seriously damaged regional security

• Wednesday, September 26, 19:29

Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan has delivered a speech in Los Angeles World Affairs Center.

The press service of Armenia's Foreign Ministry reports that Nalbandyan presented the key priorities of Armenia's foreign policy, Armenian-US relations, the major problems in the South Caucasus and Armenia's efforts to solve them.

Concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, Nalbandyan said that the world community shares Armenia's position and wants to resolve the conflict peacefully, but Azerbaijan keeps jeopardizing stability in the region by making anti-Armenian statements, breaking the cease-fire regime and destroying Armenian cultural monuments.  He said that the Azeri authorities ignore the world community's urges to stop their anti-Armenian hysteria and keep acting contrary to global values.

One example is the release of Ramil Safarov, an Azeri officer who brutally killed an Armenian counterpart.

Nalbandyan said that no single country in the world has approved of Azerbaijan's step. The world is unanimous in its criticism but the Azeri authorities are not sorry and continue insisting that what they did was in line with the international law.

According to Nalbandyan, Azerbaijan's step was one more attempt to wreck the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, but Armenia will continue its efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully.
