During his recent visit to the region French President Francois
Hollande made a very concrete proposal, also in terms of substance with
regard to organizing a summit meeting of the presidents of Armenia
and Azerbaijan in Paris, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
reaffirmed on Monday.
Speaking at a joint press conference, in Yerevan, with his visiting
Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, Nalbandian was asked to comment
on top Azeri diplomat Elmar Mammadyarov's statement that "Baku is
waiting for concreteness."
"It seems this concreteness [in Hollande's proposal] is not to the
liking of Baku, as it is waiting for some different concreteness,"
said Nalbandian.
"For some reasons all the proposals made by the Co-Chairs on behalf
of the international community, are not to the liking of Azerbaijan,
including those on the consolidation of ceasefire, withdrawal of
snipers, creation of a mechanism on investigation of incidents, not
to the liking of Azerbaijan are the proposals which are presented
as an integrated whole and included in the five statements of the
Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries," the Armenian
minister continued.
"There is simply no alternative to the concreteness of what is proposed
by the Co-Chair countries and which is directed at exclusively peaceful
settlement of the conflict."
