Tahir Tagizade, the chief of Press and Information of the Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry said that Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian’s
refusal from the talks means a feeling of weakness of own arguments.

He stated that the most important is to move forward the negotiation
process. "All statements by the Armenian FM on Azerbaijan’s activities
at UN testify the real level of engagement of Armenia by the regional
and world policy," Tagizade underscored

Oskanian said that Azerbaijan puts every effort to distract the
attention from the ‘Minsk process’.

Inclusion of an item on delayed conflicts in the territory of GUAM
(Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova) member-states into the
agenda of the General Assembly.

Tagizade noted that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs still adhere an
opinion that the next meet should be organized between the Foreign
Ministers.

During the last meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign
Ministers with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in Europe it was resolved
to organize next round of consultations between FMs in New York on
25 or 26 September within the framework of the 61st session of the
UN General Assembly.
