YEREVAN. – We should not allow the politicization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), its transformation into a platform for political confrontation.

The Foreign Minister of Armenia, Edward Nalbandian, on Friday stated the aforesaid at the 34th Meeting of the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the BSEC  member countries, in Sochi, Russia.

He noted this commenting on the fact that the Azerbaijani delegation attempted to politicize the BSEC plenary session by reflecting on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that Nalbandian specifically stressed: “Unfortunately, today we witnessed the attempts of the Azerbaijani delegation to politicize the Plenary Session for their narrow-minded propagandistic goals.

“In regard to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, I would like to remind, that the Vienna and St. Petersburg Summits first and foremost were aimed to stabilize the situation in the conflict zone in the aftermaths of large-scale military actions unleashed by Azerbaijan against Nagorno-Karabakh in April.

“First of all, it is a necessity to implement what was particularly emphasized and agreed upon in the frameworks of the Summits in order to create conditions for the continuation of the negotiation process; i.e. the exclusively peaceful settlement of the conflict, the unconditional adherence to the 1994-1995 trilateral ceasefire agreements, which have no time limitations, the creation of mechanism for the investigation of ceasefire violations, the expansion of the team of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office.”
