region, the energy projects of regional importance, and acknowledged
the importance of Azerbaijan for Europe.
Mammadyarov, speaking about the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno Garabagh
conflict, pointed out that if Armenia accepts OSCE Minsk Group's
proposals it must sign a big peace treaty. The Minister also informed
Lefort that the use of the airport in Khojali in the occupied
Azerbaijani lands can cause a big blow to peaceful negotiations.
Mammadyarov reminded the EU representative that the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chair countries hold similar position and the main problem in the
conflict is Armenia's refusal to withdraw its armed forces from the
occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
Lefort, in his turn, noted the importance of establishing contacts
