Azerbaijani Official urges Armenia to embrace change and reject status quo.

The Head of the Policy Analysis and Information  Department in the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan, Elnur Aslanov has asserted that the recent elections in Nagorno-Karabakh harm the ongoing peace negotiations.

In a comment to GUN.AZ, cited by news.az, Aslanov said: "The position of Baku regarding the so-called "elections" in Nagorno-Karabakh is quite clear. He noted that the European Union, other international organizations and many countries condemned this show going on in Karabakh and voiced their strict opinion. "The regime in Nagorno-Karabakh does what Armenia tells it to do. Any step there harms the peace process."

The Azerbaijani web portals also quote Aslanov as saying that "We also advocate the position that Armenia should demonstrate a more constructive position and make steps not to preserve the status quo in the region, but to change the situation and form peace and security in the region."
