"When we address all issues with Azerbaijan, we'll be ready to trade
with this country", Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandyan said
to journalists when replying to ArmInfo correspondent's question how
he assesses the results of the meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani
presidents in St.Petersburg taking into account Azerbaijan's statement
that Baku is not ready for trade and economic relations with Armenia.
The matter concerns serious negotiations and Armenia is ready to
continue them on the basis of the proposals made in Madrid by the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, the minister said. "Over the past few
months, Azerbaijan pretended that there are no such proposals", he
said. However, the meeting of the two countries' Presidents Sargsyan
and Aliyev inspires hope, he stressed. The minister also pointed out
that after the meeting the presidents instructed the ministers to
continue the talks on the specified proposals. "The OSCE MG co-chairs
will visit the region in late June to discuss the opportunities for
rapprochement of the two countries' positions on settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict", Nalbandyan said.
