Speaking about the statement of deputy foreign minister of Azerbaijan,
Araz Azimov, who said that the meeting of ministers in Moscow was a
"step back," Vladimir Karapetyan, acting department head of information
and press services of the foreign ministry of Armenia, told Arminfo,
"It is strange that comments on Moscow negotiations are made 20 days
after the meeting."

Azimov had said, "If the negotiations do not continue according to
arrangements it would be meaningless to continue them."

In the words of Karapetyan, "We had the chance to assess the most
recent phase of the negotiations as constructive and hopeful. The
mediators think the same. The deputy foreign minister of Azerbaijan
may be creating a ground for anti-constructive disposition of the
Azeri side before the upcoming meeting between the foreign ministers
of both countries."
