[Presenter] The Baku government favours joint meetings between
representatives of the Azerbaijani and Armenian governments in a
neutral country, the head of the public-political department of the
Azerbaijani presidential administration, Ali Hasanov, has said.

[Ali Hasanov, speaking to journalists] We are against all forms of
cooperation and ties with Armenia until this country withdraws its
troops from the [occupied] Azerbaijani lands and ends its policy of
aggression. However, there are some issues that do not depend on
us. Specifically, this pertains to events organized by international
organizations in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia and other countries. It
is better to hold these events in neutral countries so that we and the
Armenians can attend them. This will enable us to unmask them.
