/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The statements by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs on
the development of some new solution variants of the Nagorno Karabakh
problem do not inspire optimism, Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz
Azimov stated.
“By producing such statements, the Co-chairs desire only to
raise the importance of their activities before the public,” said
Azimov. “Undoubtedly, they need to vindicate their activities, and
therefore, we hear about new ideas every time. It is obvious that
they need to inform and direct the public opinion,” said Azimov.
He stressed that there are some issues the solution of which will
be possible only after certain steps for the Karabakh conflict
settlement. “These steps should be submitted to Azerbaijan in a clear
form,” Azimov remarked.
According to him, these steps first of all are related to the release
of Azerbaijani territories around Nagorno Karabakh. “All these steps
should be taken in a stepwise manner, and only then official Baku
may express its position on other questions,” said Azimov, reported
Trend news agency.
