Baku, 25 May: Baku has agreed to hold a meeting between the presidents
of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Bucharest within the framework of the
Black Sea forum for dialogue and partnership on 4-6 June, Azerbaijani
Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said in an interview with
journalists while commenting on the results of yesterday’s
negotiations with the international mediatory mission.

Now the holding of the meeting between the presidents of Azerbaijan
and Armenia will depend on the results of the international mediators’
negotiations in Yerevan.

Mammadyarov said that the mediators had brought not ” new proposals”,
but “new ideas”. Without going into detail, Mammadyarov said that some
of these ideas are acceptable to Azerbaijan while others are not.

However, you have to seek “compromises” in diplomacy, Mammadyarov
pointed out. According to Mammadyarov, the mediators treat
Azerbaijan’s “unchangeable” position with understanding.

Commenting on the mediators’ call for the leaders of the two states to
prepare their peoples “for peace, not for war”, Mammadyarov pointed
out that Azerbaijan is in favour of a peaceful solution to the
conflict. At the same time, he stressed that Azerbaijan’s territory is
under occupation and “the war is not over yet”.
