Spokesman of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov
commented on the statement of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
that new suggestions have been submitted in Saint Petersburg for the
Karabakh conflict resolution and it is high time that Azerbaijan says
whether it accepts the suggestions or not.
Specifically, Polukhov said that currently Azerbaijan is working
with the document, which has been submitted by the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairmen in Athens, with participation of two foreign ministers
of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries and U.S. Deputy Secretary
of State.
According to Polukhov, the document submitted in Athens is a result
of efforts by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen, as well as meetings
held between the two countries presidents.
He added that working suggestions, which are made very often, have
been submitted to the sides in Saint Petersburg. "However, they
were drafted only by one side, thus, the OSCE Minsk Group format
was not preserved. The Saint Petersburg suggestions change the
entire philosophy of the negotiation process at the core. In other
words, they affect the work that was carried out for six years and
the fragile construction that was built during this period," said
Polukhov, Day.az reported.
