Baku, Azerbaijan, March 21. Azerbaijan will
continue its peace efforts in all directions, and will resolutely
prevent any steps against this process, Azerbaijani MFA said in a
statement in response to baseless claims made by Armenian FM Ararat
Mirzoyan at a press conference with Brazilian Foreign Minister
Mauro Vieira, Trend reports.
”Azerbaijan will continue its peace efforts in all directions,
and will resolutely prevent any steps against this process. When it
comes to calls to release the detainees of Armenian origin who have
been charged or convicted of war crimes, ethnic cleansing, military
aggression, torture, and other serious offenses, we emphasize that
it is Azerbaijan’s inalienable right and obligation to investigate
and prosecute the offenses under the Geneva Conventions and
generally under international and domestic law.
If Armenia is really interested in addressing the unresolved
humanitarian issues they must ensure the rights of dispelled
Azerbaijanis from Armenia to return to their homes in safety and
dignity, inform us of the whereabouts of around 4,000 missing
Azerbaijanis, and cooperate in the provision of maps of landmines
they massively placed in the territories of Azerbaijan,” the
statement reads.
