ArmInfo.Baku calls on Armenian authorities to take real steps for the settlement of  Karabakh conflict 

Thus, commenting on the recent statement made by acting prime  minister of Armenia on the conflict settlement process,  Azerbaijan's  Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Leyla Abdullayeva in particualrly said:  "The statement repeated by the acting prime minister of Armenia  Pashinyan that "we are far from the settlement of the problem unless  the leadership of Karabakh is involved to the process" undermines the  settlement of the conflict via negotiations within the existing  format and serves to consolidating status quo and creating  tension.Such reckless statements by the acting leadership of Armenia  on the eve of the elections are counted more for domestic  consumption," said Abdullayeva, Trend reports.

Bearing in mind the future development of Armenia the leadership of  this country should take real steps in the direction of the conflict  settlement and withdraw its armed forces from the "occupied"  territories of Azerbaijan according to the demands of the UN SC  resolutions and its international commitments, she added.

"Acting prime minister of Armenia Pashinyan should not cheat his own  people, trying to mislead them on the way of peace process. As it has  been consistently stated by the presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group  co-chair states existing status quo is unsustainable and  unacceptable," said the MFA spokesperson.

To recall, in his latest statement the acting Pm of Armenia Nkil  Pashinyan stated that in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict  secret solutions are excluded. According to him, the final word in  the settlement process should belong to the people of Artsakh. "And  it is the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic that should participate in the  negotiations, because no Armenian government can solve the problem  without the participation of the Artsakh people. As long as Karabakh  is not involved in the settlement process, the problem will not be  solved. I have the right to negotiate on behalf of the Republic of  Armenia, but not the people of Karabakh, who do not participate in  the process of forming power in Armenia ", noted the Acting the prime  minister.
