"Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Robert Kocharian
are expected to meet again this year," said Novruz Mammadov head of
President's Executive Office international relations department.
Commenting on the lack of detailed information about the recent meeting
of the Presidents in Bucharest, Mr.Mammadov said the talks are on
such a stage that it is unadvisable to give detailed information on it.
"After the first day of meeting, it was decided to continue the
negotiations next day. It means certain issues are being considered.
On the other hand, it is difficult to reach an agreement. Thus,
Armenia's position is unacceptable. They want Nagorno Garabagh to be
given independence. President Ilham Aliyev making Robert Kocharian's
position go to fall, stressed that the conflict should be solved only
in the frames of territorial integrity. There can be ten or fifteen
Armenian states if Armenians living in different parts of the world
establish a state," Mammadov underlined.
The state official refused to say concretely what issue was agreed
upon in Bucharest meeting.
"The agreements on small details are consolidated, and a final
principle is determined. There is nothing new in the latest statement
by Kocharian. As a president, he needs to be careful while making
statements. His saying "Armenians should be given independence wherever
they are" sounds ridiculous," he underlined.
