Baku Expects Progress in January Meeting of Azeri, Armenian FMs
Baku expects considerable progress at the meeting of Azerbaijani and
Armenian foreign ministers upcoming in January, Foreign Minister

`If Armenia continues to approach the issue seriously, as it did at
the Sofia and Brussels meetings of foreign ministers, remarkable
changes will be achieved in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement.'
Asked whether the January meeting can be termed as a start of the
second stage of Prague meetings, Mammadyarov said: `In general, I am
