The French president's proposal to arrange a meeting of Armenian
President Serzh Sargsian and Azeri President Ilham Aliyev was
absolutely specific, Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian
stated.
"The French president made more than a specific offer during his
regional trip concerning the arrangement of a summit of the Armenian
and Azeri presidents in Paris, including its content. Baku does not
seem to like these specifics and is expecting some others," Nalbandian
said told a press conference in Yerevan on Monday. Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov was the other speaker at the press conference.
Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a joint press briefing
with Lavrov earlier Baku expected Paris to be more specific about the
initiative to organize a new meeting between the Azeri and Armenian
presidents.
"For some reason Azerbaijan does not like the proposals put forward on
behalf of the international community by co-chair countries, including
those with regard to strengthening the ceasefire regime, pulling back
snipers and creating an incident investigation mechanism. It does not
like two proposals presented as a single package in five statements
of the presidents of chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group. There is
simply no alternative to the specifics proposed by the chair countries,
which target the exclusively peaceful settlement of the conflict,"
the Armenian foreign minister indicated.
