Azerbaijan said that Armenia must withdraw troops from the disputed Nagorno Karabakh region in order to end the fighting, Agence France Presse reported on Friday.
"If Armenia wants to see an end of this escalation of the situation, the ball is in the court of Armenia," the news agency cited Hikmet Hajiyev, foreign affairs aide to Azeri President Ilham Aliyev, as telling reporters on Friday.
"Armenia must ends its occupation (of Karabakh),” he said. "Enough is enough."
Baku’s statement came after Armenia said it was ready to coordinate with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to re-establish a ceasefire agreement in the region.
France, Russia, and the United States co-chair the OSCE Minsk Group, which was set up in 1992 to mediate in the decades-old conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. On Thursday, the leaders of the three countries called on Armenia and Azerbaijan to stop the violence and return to negotiations to find a resolution.
