Yerevan, 13 February: "The Armenian side assesses the latest stage
of the talks on the Karabakh conflict settlement as constructive and
promising, and the [OSCE Minsk Group] mediators share this opinion,"
Vladimir Karapetyan, a Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman, said
today. He was commenting on Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz
Azimov’s statement that if the negotiations do not continue on the
basis of previous agreements, doubts may arise about the expediency
of the talks.
"Probably, ahead of the forthcoming meeting between the foreign
ministers of the two countries, the Azerbaijani deputy foreign minister
is preparing grounds for Azerbaijan’s non-constructive position,
just like this repeatedly happened in the past", Karapetyan noted.
