Azeri President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
did not achieve significant progress in settling the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict at a meeting in Prague on May 7, Azeri Foreign Minister
Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists on Saturday.
"Complex issues were discussed at the meeting in Prague.
Unfortunately, the Armenian side did not display a constructive
approach," Mammadyarov said.
Azerbaijan insists on the withdrawal of Armenian forces from the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan, Mammadyarov said. "The negotiations
are continuing in line with these principles, but I cannot say that
some great progress has been made," he said.
The next meeting between the two leaders is planned during an
international economic forum in St. Petersburg in June, Mammadyarov
said. Before the meeting, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will visit
the region, and the Azeri and Armenian foreign ministers might meet
as well.
"The next meeting between the presidents will depend on the co-chairs'
visit to the region," he said.
