"We cannot say that considerable progress was achieved during the
last meeting of Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Bucharest
and there is necessity to match up the positions of the parties,"
said Elmar Mammadyarov, Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan.
He said that "June 6-7 the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs will hold extra
meetings in Bucharest, Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will hold
another round of talks if necessary."
"There is still hope for peaceful settlement, and we intend to continue
taking efforts in this direction," Mammadyarov said.
"The work directed at bringing the positions closer continues. The
issue of return of occupied territories and the return of refugees to
their homes is out of the agenda of discussions," the Azeri Foreign
Minister said.
Elmar Mammadyarov noted that "as for the case of economic autonomy,
the Azeri side does not rule out implementation of the Trieste model,
which also provides for broad autonomy."
"However, the issue of autonomy refers not only to the Armenian
community of Nagorno-Karabakh but also the Azeri one," the Foreign
minister said, underlining that "the referendum issue has found its
clear expression in the Constitution of Azerbaijan."
