in the negotiations
Baku. Victoria Dementieva - APA. "My recent meeting with Armenian
President was more optimistic than the previous one. There was a long
stagnation in the process, due to Armenia's reluctance to negotiate,
said the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the meeting with
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in Brussels, APA reports.
Addressing the press conference, Aliyev said that Azerbaijan still
has doubts regarding Armenia's sincerity in the negotiations and
thinks that the opposite side will intend to preserve the status quo.
Azerbaijani President mentioned that presidents of OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairing countries have repeatedly stressed in their statements
that the status quo is unacceptable: "We think that this is a serious
message to Armenia. If they want to change the status quo, they should
put an end to the occupation of our lands".
Ilham Aliyev noted that foreign ministers of both countries will
meet this month and this meeting will show how sincere Armenia is:
"If Armenia makes a realistic assessment of the situation, we will
soon be able to resolve the conflict".
