Even the hedgehog understands, while Azerbaijan doesn’t

“The Azerbaijani side appears to have intentionally stopped its ears and doesn’t want to hear anything the international community is talking about. Azerbaijan blames everyone, and puts on a mask as if they are constructive. However, if this constructivism isn’t clear to anyone but them then it should be looking for a responsible part among them,” said Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian at the meeting with the Together Movement young activists. 

Armenian Foreign Minister pointed that the international mediators are warning against inadmissibility of a selective approach to the principles of settlement to the Karabakh conflict.

“If Azerbaijan has been focusing on the last principle out of three – the right to self-determination, non-use of force and the principle of territorial integrity – and is preferring a single provision out of six that are included in the statement of presidents of Russia, U.S. and France, then the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs stressed in the 17 July statement in Alma-Ata that this is a destructive approach which doesn’t contribute to the settlement to the conflict,” said Nalbandian.

“In addition, the statement made in Alma-Ata, contains a point about provocation, organised by the Azerbaijani side during the night of June 18-19, 2010, as well as points at other statements and actions of Azerbaijani authorities. It highlights the importance of strengthening the ceasefire. It’s clear, who is the addressee of these messages. There is a good Russian saying “even the hedgehog understands” (a no-brainer),” said Nalbandian.
