Within the framework of the 70th Session of the UN General Assembly, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov met with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on 27 September, 2015.
Armenia’s main aim is to harm, through provocative acts, the process of negotiation on settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to keep the current status quo, which is based on occupation and aggression, said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, AzVision.az reports.
During the meeting, held as part of the 70th Session of the UN General Assembly, Mammadyarov said Armenia intensively violates the ceasefire and by taking provocative actions, tries to escalate the tension on the contact line and along the border with Azerbaijan. He noted the importance of the participation of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs` activity on peace settlement process. Noting the necessity to put an end to the occupation and aggression, Mammadyarov said the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan should be secured within Azerbaijan’s internationally recognized borders.
