The Armenian Foreign Ministry reacted to the statement of the  Azerbaijani presidential aide Novruz Mammadov

ArmInfo. Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan responded to the statement of Novruz Mammadov, the Azerbaijani presidential aide on foreign policy 

issues, who after the Geneva meeting accused Sargsyan, the head  of the Armenian 

state,  in an attempt to "disrupt the agreement reached during the talks."

"Against the backdrop of the comments of the President of the 

Republic of Armenia, following the meeting in Geneva reflecting the 

cave thinking of Novruz Mammadov, the remarks of the diplomatic 

correctness in relation to the President of Azerbaijan are another 

proof of what exactly impedes the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh 

problem," Shavarsh Kocharyan wrote in his microblogging on Twitter.

Spokesman for the Armenian Foreign Ministry Tigran Balayan also 

commented on Novruz Mammadov's statement. "The Baku nomenclator with 

the expired validity period again missed the opportunity to remain 

silent and not to show off all its limitations," wrote Balayan in the 

social network Twitter.

It should be noted that the Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting was held in 

Geneva on October 16.  The meeting was attended by the Foreign 

Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan Edward Nalbandian and Elmar 

Mammadyarov, Minsk mediators Igor Popov (Russia), AndrewSheffer 

(USA), Stefan Visconti (France) and Personal Representative The OSCE 

Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk. On the same day in Geneva, at 

the Armenian Embassy in the Swiss Confederation, President Serzh 

Sargsyan met with representatives of the Armenian community and 

presented the results of the talks held on the same day with 

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.   

"A few minutes ago the meeting with the President of Azerbaijan 

ended: there are no concrete agreements, so to speak, we do not have, 

as to the options for solving the problem, but we agreed to take 

measures to further ease the tension so that we do not have any 

victims on the front line. and I am deeply interested in it, God 

grant that he always thought so, he also understands the complexity 

of the problem, naturally, I am also, but this is a question that 

will never have a simple solution. I want you all to be sure that for 

us there can not be a solution that can in any way violate the 

security of Karabakh.The only solution for us is that Karabakh was 

outside of Azerbaijan.Never one Armenian leader can not accept and 

implement such a solution, and for this purpose we will do 

everything, while at the same time ensuring the development of 

Armenia, economically strengthening our country, "President Sargsyan 

said.

Meanwhile, the assistant to the Azerbaijani President on foreign 

policy issues, Novruz Mammadov wrote on his Twitter page: "It was 

decided that besides the agreed points, there will be no other 

statements." Despite the promise, he (Serzh Sargsyan) again did not 

keep his word: Apparently, the intention to derail the negotiations 

is still with him. "
