"Regarding Armenia's claims on the international mechanism concerning the rights and security of Armenian residents living in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region, as well as the issue of dialogue with Armenian residents, we would like to emphasize that, as was clearly stated at the Munich discussions, the rights and security of residents of Armenian origin living in the region will be ensured in accordance with the Republic of Azerbaijan's Constitution and legislative acts," said in a comment of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry to Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Luxembourg's Minister of European Affairs and Foreign Affairs Jan Asselborn's statements, APA reports.

"The Azerbaijani side also declared that it is ready to hold a dialogue with the representatives who have the right to represent the Armenian residents, not with those who come to the Karabakh region from outside and present themselves as representatives of the Armenian residents. In accordance with international law norms and principles, as well as the Prague and Sochi agreements, in which the countries mutually recognize each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty, Armenia should not interfere in Azerbaijan's internal affairs and abandon its territorial claims," the Ministry noted.
