The Azerbaijani foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov hasn’t received
any proposal from the mediators to hold a meeting with his Armenian
colleague Vardan Oskanyan in Prague in the fall. Event the American
co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group Mathew Bryza didn’t touch up on this
question, Mamadyarov told journalists on August 4, Trend reports with
reference to Lider TV.

According to the minister, the co-chairs discussed different variants
of resolving Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Official Baku isn’t aware of
the negotiations.

Mammadyarov noted that Azerbaijan support the peaceful talks.

"One of the disputable questions in settling the conflict is the
conducting of the reforms. American co-chair supports the position
of Azerbaijan in this direction," Mammadyarov stressed.

Official Baku is worried by the activities of the foreign companies
belonging to Armenian businessmen in the Azerbaijan’s occupied
territories, the minister added, noting that they are mainly engaged
in the construction of hotels and other objects.
