YEREVAN.- Azerbaijan’s position is aimed at torpedoing the Karabakh peace process, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Kocharyan’s remark came as a comment on speech of Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov at the session of UN General Assembly.

Speaking in the UN, Mammadyarov presented Azerbaijan’s stance on the Madrid principles which implied only restoring of Azerbaijan’s “territorial integrity.”

Progress in talks will be possible only after Azerbaijan stops distorting the UN Charter, Kocharyan said.

“According to Chapter 1 of the Charter, equality and the right of peoples to self-determination is one of the goals of the organization, while territorial integrity, in accordance with Chapter 2, is a principle aimed to fulfill the UN’s objectives. It is clear that under the UN Charter, the territorial integrity cannot be opposed to peoples’ right to self-determination, which was confirmed by international court’s decision on Kosovo,” he said.
