Baku Today / Assa Irada 25/07/2005 18:15

Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has condemned Armenia for accusing
Azerbaijan of breaching the confidentiality of talks.

`The Armenian side’s accusing Azerbaijan of violating the
confidentiality of the negotiating process are inappropriate.’

Mammadyarov said he sees no grounds for such statements. Azerbaijan
has stated that the negotiations are underway in strict compliance
with the country’s laws and Constitution, he said.

Head of the self-proclaimed `Nagorno Karabakh Republic’ Arkadi
Gukasian told journalists after the recent visit by the co-chairs of
the mediating OSCE Minsk Group to the region that Azerbaijan had
allegedly breached the confidentiality of Azerbaijan-Armenia talks.

With regard to the Nagorno Karabakh status, the Minister said that
reports on the issue have not been made public yet.
