/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan assesses positively the G8 countries
keeping the Nagorno Karabakh issue in focus, stated chief of the
Department of Information of the Azeri MFA Tahir Tagizadeh. "Judging
from what we saw in media reports on the statement made by Russia
on behalf of G8, the leading states of the world keep their active
approach to settlement of the conflict, and this is positive,"
Tagizadeh said.
The Azeri MFA representative expressed watchfulness on the provision of
the statement, in which the G8 urge Azerbaijan and Armenia to prepare
their peoples to peace, not war. "If expressions on possibility of
other ways of solving the issue are meant here, it is necessary to
take into account the specific character of Azerbaijan's situation. We
are not in a position to allow holding talks for the sake of holding
talks," Tagizadeh underscored.
On the whole, the diplomat continued, the statement of G8 countries
is a positive one, "however in the overall context of latest urges
of the Azeri party towards OSCE MG co-chairs to become more active
(as it is known, G8 comprises all three co-chairing countries),
I would say that it is insufficiently specific unfortunately."
