Azerbaijan after the chairmanship term expires and the residence
of current ambassador locates in Prague now". Foreign Minister of
Czech Republic Karel Schwarzenberg said he had held very open and
detailed negotiations with Elmar Mammadyarov. "We had very comfortable
dialogue because we called the development spade a spade". The Czech

Azerbaijan. "The conflicts should be solved through the negotiations
between the two sides at the present time and international community
will not allow the conflicts to blaze up again". Schwarzenberg said

to Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Responding the question about the US
missile defense in Czech Republic, Schwarzenberg said it was decided
to sign relative document with the USA later in July. "Regarding the
Gabala radar system, its current situation doesn't meet the European
standards now, but this facility can be restored and used in future".

the Minister said Czech Republic was not attending this project,
but watching it closely. "This is very interesting project for Europe".
