09 May 2009 [14:51] - Today.Az
Elmar Mammadyarov has informed that the presidents are expected to
meet again in Saint Petersburg, Russia early in June, this year.
`Unfortunately, no progress has been attained in the Prague meeting
between the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan,' ANS PRESS quotes
the Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs Elmar Mammadyarov as
saying.
`I can't say progress has been achieved and that the talks should be
pursued. The Prague meeting betweeen the presidents focused on
discussing tough issues. However, Armenians again did not demonstrate
any constructiveness.' Mammadyarov said.
According to him, Azerbaijan is seeking immediate withdrawal of the
Armenian troops from the occupied territories and inclusion of Daqliq
Qarabaq into Azerbaijan. He further added that the talks were pursued
based on those principles.
As to the next meeting between the presidents, Mammadyarov informed
that the presidents were expected to meet again within the economic
summit in Saint Petersburg, Russia early in June, this year. `But
prior to that, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will most likely pay a
visit to the region. Everything will be known following their visit,'
the foreign minister said.
Touching upon the meeting between the US Secretary of State,
Mammadyarov informed that both the United States, Russia and the EU
were playing a vital role in the region. `If the United States will
offer its assistance on this issue, we might achieve some
progress. Unfortunately, we did not achieve it in Prague."
"We touched also on the Daqliq Qaraabaq conflict and the energy issues
during the meeting. Ms. Clinton said she was willing to do her best in
establishing peace and stability in the region and in the first place
between Armenia and Azerbaijan . It is very important statement'
Mammadyarov stressed.
