Baku, Fineko / abc.az. A meeting of ministers of foreign affairs Elmar
Mamedyarov of Azerbaijan and Edward Nalbandian of Armenia failed to
give any progress in the peaceful settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Garabagh conflict.
Today in Baku Mammadyarov has said that at the ministerial meeting in
Almaty both FMs failed to make progress, despite long negotiations
and good foundation available in the negotiation process, including
the statement made by OSCE Minsk Group co-chair states' presidents.
"I think negotiations will continue. Sooner or later the economic
development of Azerbaijan will make its contribution. The return of
Azerbaijani lands is only a matter of time, but it depends on how
soon the Armenian leadership will realize that conflict settlement
is in its interests," Mammadyarov said.
At that, Azerbaijan is in favor of opening of all communications
in the region and the restoration of ties with Armenia. However,
for this, the latter should withdraw its troops from Azerbaijani lands.
"I'd like much we could make progress quickly, but on the other hand
we understand that this is a very sensitive issue," Mammadyarov said.
He called "ridiculous" the statements by Armenians of the superiority
of the right of nations to self-determination over the two other
fundamental principles of the Helsinki Final Act - territorial
integrity and non-use of force.
