"We strongly reject the March 18 statement of the RA Prime Minister's staff, which combat the facts of the facts of the shooting in the border areas, along with completely unfounded claims." The statement came from Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Aykakhan Hajizade.
According to him, the proposals of the Armenian side on investigating the facts are "unfounded and abstract."
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman noted that "if the Armenian government is guided by the agenda of the Prime Minister, it will be appropriate to explain how Armenia's mass militarization, including the deployment of offensive weapons in border areas, serves such a agenda."
"In connection with the finalization of the text of the peace agreement between the two countries, Armenia is in any way to disrupt the process, despite the fact that Azerbaijan made the first steps, offering to work on a peace agreement in 2022.
At the same time, it is deeply worrying that Armenia has ignored our long-held demand to terminate its territorial claims against Azerbaijan, although being aware of this call.
We repeat the principled position of Azerbaijan that the main condition for signing the negotiation text is the amendment to the Constitution of Armenia to eliminate the demands of Azerbaijan's sovereignty and territorial integrity. At the same time, we emphasize the need to dissolve the OSCE Minsk Group and related structures, "he said.
"Armenia does not fulfill these obligations to the opening and signed obligations of the Western Regions of Azerbaijan in spite of the opening and signed obligations of the Western Regions of Nakhichevan. Instead, they presented proposals for significantly inappropriate, difficult and practically long ways to distract from the process and obligations, "Baku said.
It is noted that "if the Armenian side is really interested in the opening of communications in the region, it should not be avoided with its obligations and take practical steps to open new communications in the region."
"Azerbaijan will continue its efforts to peace in all directions and will resolutely prevent the steps against this process."
