Foreign Ministry: Issue of rights and security of Armenian residents living in Karabakh is an internal matter of Azerbaijan

“Regarding the groundless calls for “creating an international mechanism to ensure the rights and security of Armenians,” let us note that the issue of the rights and security of Armenian residents living in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan is an internal matter of Azerbaijan. Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan, and the rights and security of the residents of Armenian origin living in this region will be ensured in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan,” said Azerbaijan`s Ministry of Foreign Affairs as it commented on the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia dated December 13, 2022.

 

“Azerbaijan fulfills its obligations in full, and strongly demands that Armenia also complies with its obligations. Unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan, the initiator of the peace agenda, is not interested in the creation of tension in the region. Azerbaijan ensures the security and integrity of its territories on legal grounds.

 

Armenia should stop statements and actions against sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,” the ministry noted.
