Armenia assumed an unconstructive position at a recent meeting between
its President Serzh Sargsyan and Azeri President Ilham Aliyev, said
Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
The minister said he could not share optimism of the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs regarding a possible breakthrough in the talks on settling
the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
"This is important if the co-chairs have a positive view on the
process. But, on the other hand, I can say based on what I heard myself
that the Armenian side assumed an unconstructive position in Prague
[at the meeting between Aliyev and Sargsyan]," he said.
Mammadyarov suggested that a constructive position would have
implied that Armenia had been really interested in achieving peace
and stability in the region.
It would become clear whether Yerevan has changed its position at the
next meeting between Aliyev and Sargsyan in St. Petersburg on Thursday,
Mammadyarov said.
