The recent statement of the Armenian foreign minister Vardan Oskanyan
regarding the issue that "Yerevan hopes that the new American co-chair
of OSCE Minsk Group Mathew Bryza will achieve to convince Azerbaijan
to return to the talks on base of the final proposals of mediators" is
unclear, Tahir Tagizade, the head of the press and information policy
department of the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, told, Trend reports.

"It is possible to say many things, the commentary would be longer
than the word of Oskanyan. It would be to say that Azerbaijan has
never left the table of talks so that it is drawn back to the talks.
The second, finally the talks emerged about the framework document,
although the mediators themselves told that there is no document,
but collection of non-agreed principles. And the third, Armenia has
already started to appeal to the fact that it will be held elections
in Armenia in 2007 and therefore, it is impossible to seriously hold
negotiations," told Tagizade.
