Yerevan, 18 May: “I think the two [Armenian and Azerbaijani] presidents
have discussed different issues in their talks [in Warsaw on 15 May],
but as far as I know, they are kept secret. I am very surprised that
this level of detail has emerged in the Azerbaijani press,” Armenian
Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakosyan has said commenting on
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov’s statement that the
two countries had allegedly reached an agreement on the handover of
seven districts to Azerbaijan in exchange for unblocking the railway
communication.
Arman Kirakosyan stressed that the region’s problem, as well as
Armenia’s relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, continue to be in
Yerevan’s focus and that the Armenian administration is cooperating
with the US government in developing political dialogue.
