The thoughts declared by the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev during the meeting with the representatives of so called "Western Azerbaijan" once again prove that the leadership of this state is by no means interested in establishment of peace and stability in the South Caucasus, Armenian Foreign Ministry noted.

It is noted that the statements of Azerbaijani leader, which contradict the agreements reached in Prague and Sochi this year, reflect the desire of the Azerbaijani leadership to interrupt the peace process.

"All the excuses given in the statement about the illegal blocking of Lachin corridor have nothing in common with the reality. This and other aggressive actions previously carried out by Azerbaijan against the people of Nagorno-Karabakh are part of the consistent policy of ethnic cleansing of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh," the statement reads.

Stressing once again the determination of the Armenian side to build peace and stability in the region, the Armenian Foreign Ministry urges interested international partners to oblige Azerbaijan through targeted statements and actions to stop its bellicose and fanatical rhetoric, fulfill its commitments, withdraw Azerbaijani troops from the sovereign territory of Armenia and restore the normal operation of the Lachin corridor.
