Hardly had the last fanfare sounded at the Astana Summit when official Baku hurled new accusations at Armenia.

Azerbaijan’s actions are arousing concern. Yesterday, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who once again told the same old story about “Armenian aggression” in his speech, acceded to a joint statement on Nagorno-Karabakh.

On the occasion of the OSCE Summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, the Heads of Delegation of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries (the President of the Russian Federation Dmitri Medvedev, the Prime Minister of France Francois Fillon, and the Secretary of State of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton), the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, and the President of Armenia Serge Sargsian agreed that the time has come for more decisive efforts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan reaffirmed their commitment to seek a final settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, based upon: the principles and norms of international law; the United Nations Charter; the Helsinki Final Act; as well as the statements of Presidents Medvedev, Sarkozy, and Obama, at L’aquila on July 10, 2009, and at Muskoka on June 26, 2010.

Thus, at the OSCE Summit President Aliyev did not dare to make militant statements, but his servants did it instead of him.

Azerbaijan faced with the unconstructive position of Armenia at the Astana summit, Azerbaijani Presidential Administration’ Social and Political Department Head Ali Hasanov told journalists on Thursday.

“If Armenia continues to adhere to this position in the future, Azerbaijan will have to liberate its territories using force,” he said.

So what constructive approaches are we speaking of?

The Armenian side has repeatedly stressed the unacceptability of a military settlement of the conflict.

So which side is “unconstructive”? The answer is clear: Azerbaijan.
