/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov labeled
as "a step back" the meeting between Armenian and Azeri Foreign
Ministers Vartan Oskanian and Elmar Mamedyarov held in Moscow at
the end of January in the framework of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement. He stated that "in the result of a very tough position of
Armenian Foreign Minister ha cannot predict the future developments of
the process." "Vartan Oskanian presented some positions, which return
us to the past. We categorically rejected those statements. Among
those also were the return of Azeri refugees to their home and use of
the road through Lachin corridor. I want to inform the Armenian side,
that if we do not keep on the talks on the principles, which were
being discussed during the last two years, perhaps, the continuation
of negotiations will be useless and it will not be right to expect
any results," he underlined.

The Armenian Plenipotentiary on the Nagorno Karabakh negotiations
also underscored that currently the OSCE MG Co-Chairs offer to hold
one more meeting between Armenian and Azeri foreign ministers. Azimov
stated that principally, the Azeri side can accept Co-Chairs’ offer
to meet. "But if such a meeting supposes like the one in Moscow,
we think that it is useless," he added, Bakililar.AZ reports.
