Armenpress
YEREVAN, MAY 18, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign ministry has responded
today to Monday allegations by Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Elmar
Mamedyarov that Armenia was ready to give up seven regions of
Azerbaijan it occupied during an early 1990s war for the Nagorno
Karabagh. Mamedyarov told ATV on Monday that they (Armenians) have
agreed to give up all the regions, but they are thinking when they
should do this. Hamlet Gasparian, a foreign ministry spokesman,
told Armenpress Mamedyarov's statement is "absolutely contrary to
the facts."
Gasparian also said the Armenian side was positive about the latest
meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in Warsaw, who have
agreed to continue the talks over Nagorno Karabagh conflict regulation
on the level of foreign ministers, the so-called Prague process.
Gasparian also cited the positive assessment of the meeting by OSCE
Minsk group cochairmen, who he said are working now on preparing
another round of talks.
