Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry about Protest Armenia: Shusha – original territory of Azerbaijan

“Conducting any event at the sovereign territories of Azerbaijan and participation in this event of international representatives is not included in the competence of Armenia.” This was stated by the head of the press service of the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Leila Abdullayeva, commenting on the protest of the Armenian Foreign Ministry against the participation of the UN representative in the conference in Shushe.

Leila Abdullayeva called Armenia’s intervention in the internal affairs of another state unreasonable and unacceptable.

“The ongoing territorial claims of Armenia to Azerbaijan show that this country did not make the right conclusions from the 44-day war. Such a position of the Armenian Foreign Ministry is nothing more than an attempt to prevent peacekeeping efforts in the region undertaken by Azerbaijan in conjunction with leading members of the international community . I bring to the attention of the Armenian Foreign Ministry that Shusha is the original territory of Azerbaijan. This city, the cradle of Azerbaijani culture, along with other territories was released in 2020, and our territorial integrity was restored. The UN has never occupied a neutral position on the former Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. On the contrary, supported the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in resolutions adopted by the General Assembly and the Security Council. In this regard, it is not clear to restore which “neutral status” calls on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia. In conclusion, would like to repeat that the earlier Armenia will take the realities of the post-conflict period in The region, the more useful it will be for her, “the representative of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.

Recall that earlier the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia in connection with the participation of the UN Representative in the Conference held on March 18 in Shusha and Deeded by the 30th anniversary of the Azerbaijani and UN partnership, I expressed a protest to the UN representative in Yerevan.
