Foreign Minister of Armenia:

4 April 2012

Baku is constantly trying to resolve the Karabakh conflict unilaterally by means of blackmailing the European delegations arriving in Azerbaijan. Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian said in a joint press conference with his Finnish counterpart Erkki Tuomija in Yerevan, Wednesday.

However, the given attempts are doomed to failure, because the Karabakh conflict can be resolved only through self-determination of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and subject to observation of the UN Resolution on non-use of force, the principles of the peoples' right to self-determination and territorial integrity. By such actions Azerbaijan tries to throw dust into eyes of its own public, the minister said.

Such attempts, Nalbandian said, impede resolution of the Karabakh conflict. Erkki Tuomija, in turn, said that together with Nalbandian they discussed a number of issues, including regional ones, such as the Syrian issue, visa facilitation, economic relations, Armenia's participation in the Association Agreement with the EU, as well as other relevant issues.

There are no unsolvable problems between Athens and Ankara, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, as he and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis praised the state of relations between the two neighbors while pledging to further enhance bilateral ties. "We had a constructive and positive meeting and discussed problems in Türkiye-Greece relations; We will solve problems through dialogue," Erdoğan said at a joint news conference with Mitsotakis.

Improvement of bilateral relations with Türkiye is yielding concrete and positive results, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said "I can only begin by thanking you for the warm hospitality today in Ankara, it was a fourth meeting in the last 10 months, which I believe proves that the two neighbors can now establish this approach of mutual understanding, no longer as some exception, but as a productive normality that is not negated by the known differences in our positions," Mitsotakis said. He said bilateral relations have been progressing, as agreed by the parties, on three levels: political dialogue, positive agenda and confidence-building measures. "I believe that it is a positive development in a difficult time for international peace, but also for the broader stability in our region," the Greek leader said.
