The Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia were not invited to G8 summit
in St-Petersburg with respect to discuss the peaceable resolution
of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, Novruz
Mammadov, the head of the Foreign Prelateships Department of the
Azerbaijani President’s Apparat, told Trend.

He voiced his surprise on the local media reports, spread on behalf
of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry on possible meeting of the leaders
of two conflict sides in St-Petersburg under the G8 summit.

"I do not have any concrete information in this respect. An invitation
by the leaders of G8 countries is the variant that suits us well,"
Mammadov underlined, adding that the chances for it are very low.

So far, no invitation has been made and I don’t know whether they
will be, Mammadov underscored.
