meeting of Presidents"
11 May 2005 [19:31] - Today.Az
The information spread on signing of a peace agreement during Warsaw
meeting of Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia is groundless.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammedyarov said to the
journalists that no document will be signed.
"No agreement was worked on in the last negotiations. Both London
talks and Frankfurt talks were the continuation of Prague process. We
hold meeting with OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen privately and concrete
frame of the further meetings was defined. Meeting on Presidents
level is due to be next meeting in Warsaw, the direction of the
measures will be known".
Head of MFA expressed his confidence on the realization of meeting
between the Presidents. "Presidents met last in Astana and we have
done a lot in the level of Foreign Ministers since that meeting. The
work done in the frame of Prague process will be evaluated in Warsaw
meeting. Later on the Presidents are to give instruction on how to
direct our work".
Elmar Mammedyarov said of the report drown up by Fact- finding
Mission of OSCE to have been delivered to the UNO member countries.
"The report of Fact- finding Mission investigating the illegal
settlement process carried out by Armenia in the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan has been written out in six languages and presented to
the UNO member states. Besides, OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen's
suggestions on this matter have been delivered to UNO member states.
The UNO member states need time for getting acquainted with this
document, later on we shall take steps from our side".
Elmar Mammedyarov said that, the note sent to Foreign Ministry of
Russia on not permitting "Maestro Niyazi" and "Natevan" ships of
Azerbaijan to the Caspian Sea has not been responded yet. "We wait
for the respond to our note sent to Russia. Ministry of Foreign
Affairs didn't finish its work in sending note only, we go on the
talks concerning letting our ships to the Caspian Sea via Volga-Don
canal. We try to solve this matter as soon as possible. I am sure
this matter will not present any obstacle to the construction of
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan main export oil pipeline. 98% of the pipeline is
ready and opening ceremony of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan main export oil
pipeline will be held on May 25".
Head of MFA also expressed opinion on Uzbekistan's decision on
quitting GUUAM. "Uzbekistan's quitting GUUAM is a step taken relevant
to its foreign policy course. Each country has its own foreign policy
course and makes decisions correspondingly. Uzbekistan joined GUUAM
in 1999 and made decision to quit this organization in 2005.The
matter which Azerbaijan has concern in is GUUAM becoming a strong
organization. As you know, very useful decisions were made in
Kishinev summit. That is Uzbekistan's own business whether it leaves
GUUAM".
