Azerbaijan shirking responsibility for ethnic cleansing

By claiming the Shahumyan, Martakert and Martuni regions of Nagorno-Karabakh to be parts of Azerbaijan that state’s Foreign Office is trying to shirk the responsibility for the ethnic cleansing and occupation of the territories as a result of Azerbaijan’s aggression against Nagorno-Karabakh, Tigran Balayan, Press Secretary of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told NEWS.am, commenting on a statement made by his Azeri counterpart Elhan Polukhov, who was “indignant at” RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian’s statement.
It would be surprising if the Azerbaijani side could produce an international statutory act that allows ethnic cleansing justified on the grounds that it is the “state’s own territory.”
Yesterday, speaking of the consequences of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated: “The problem of consequences has to be resolved along with that of causes of the conflict. All the problems must be resolved by means of negotiations and mutual agreements.”
