YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 2, ARMENPRESS. Inadequacy of Azerbaijan impacts Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process and there is no progress there just because of its un-constructive steps. “Armenpress” reports Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian told about this at the annual summing press conference.

According to the Minister, Azerbaijan not only does not realize that it does not receive any assistance from the Minsk Group Co-chair states due to its un-constructive policy, but even tries to create an imaginary reality for itself, blaming the Co-chair states of Islamophobia. “It is hard to imagine, but they say that Azerbaijan is an Islamic state, and as the Co-chair states are Islamophobes, they act against Azerbaijan. It must be comprehended that speculations over religious factors may be very dangerous under the current conditions, which is not the first time; they have made such attempts in different institutions”, Minister Nalbandian said.

In the words of the Foreign Minister, Azerbaijan blames Armenia for all its failures. “They say that the condition over human rights is perfect in Azerbaijan, and Armenia is to blame for Azerbaijan being criticized by the world. They say that Armenia is to blame for drop of oil exports from Azerbaijan, and they say that those local oligarchs, who are no longer under the patronage of their leadership, have Armenian origins. It is very simple and easy. Armenians are to blame for everything. They know seven songs, all of them about Armenians”, Edward Nalbandian added.

The Minister also added that Azerbaijan cannot present its country from better positions by organizing symposiums and shows. “They say they are the most tolerant and multicultural country, the only one in its type. They are really the only one: no one else can be like them in terms of tolerance”, the Foreign Minister noted.
