“Such views expressed by Armenia aimed at the sovereignty of Azerbaijan, as well as the military provocations committed in the region, show that its statements on it being the party that is "making every effort to establish peace" are far from sincere,” said Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a comment on the allegations by Nikol Pashinyan, Prime Minister of Armenia, voiced during the meeting of the government on June 22.
“On calls for the introduction of an "international mechanism" in the dialogue with the local residents of Armenian origin in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and the resolution of the "rights and security" issues of the residents of Armenian origin in this framework, let us emphasize once again that the dialogue with the residents of Armenian origin, as well as the issue of ensuring the rights and freedoms of persons living in the territory of Azerbaijan and within the boundaries of the laws of Azerbaijan, is an internal matter of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is determined to implement relevant necessary measures for the reintegration of Armenian residents, and the invitation addressed to Armenian residents for the purpose of discussing these and other issues is still valid.
It is unacceptable for Armenia to use the aforementioned issue for the purpose of manipulation as an element of its traditional policy of aggression, and to obstruct the peace process,” the ministry said.
