Azerbaijani ministry: "If Yerevan’s and OSCE Minsk Group’s positions coincide, Armenia must immediately withdraw its troops."

If Yerevan's position actually coincides with the OSCE Minsk Group's position, as Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian says, Armenia must immediately withdraw its troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elman Abdullayev told Trend today.

"The OSCE Minsk Group indicated the call for withdrawing the occupation forces from the territory of Azerbaijan in its resolutions of 1993," he said.

Abdullayev said that Yerevan must also remember that heads of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries - the presidents of France, the U.S. and Russia have repeatedly confirmed in their statements, signed in L'Aquila, Moscow and Deauville, that maintaining the status quo in the region is unacceptable.

Earlier, Armenian Foreign Minister stressed at a press conference in Moscow that Yerevan's position coincides with the OSCE Minsk Group's position.
