Baku, Fineko/abc.az. After the meeting of Azerbaijan's and Armenia's
Presidents in Saint Petersburg, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the
Republic of Azerbaijan puts the efficiency of further negotiations
on Nagorno-Karabakh in dependence on Armenia's position.
Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said after the meeting
in Saint Petersburg efficiency of the next steps would depend on the
way Armenia's position develops.
"There are certain well-grounded difficulties, but from Armenia we
mostly see the subjectivism and tight policy as the main reasons,"
Azimov said.
A week ago Saint Petersburg hosted meeting for the presidents of
Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia with participation of OSCE Minsk Group.
"The issues discussed by the sides are very significant, complicated,
and serious. Azerbaijan's position is very understandable and
specific. It has a large potential to protect own interests, which
comprises not only of politic and other resources, but also support
of the world community. On the other hand, the problem can be easily
settled by Armenia if it goes through a general turning point that
may happen following assessment of the strategic positions. We expect
Armenia to be ready to make steps to develop itself and the region
as a whole. These steps include settlement of some complex items
within conflict settlement principles. At the same time, Armenia is
not ready to accept the compromise we offer yet." Azimov emphasized.
