Responding to ArmInfo question about Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister
Araz Azimov’s concern over the forthcoming meeting of the Foreign
Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, acting press secretary of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Karapetyan said: "Negotiations
take place between the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan,
and the Armenian side is positively disposed. I would not like
to comment on sentimental statements of one of the members of he
Azerbaijani delegation."

According to Day.az., the Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan
declared about his "serious concern" to ANS CM radio station. In
Azimov’s words, "the talks between the Foreign Ministers of the two
countries were unproductive." "If the negotiations continue this way,
I don’t know what we shall be discussing in Geneva. I think the Azeri
side is leaving for Geneva with a sense of anxiety," he noted.

Let us remind that the meeting of the Foreign Ministers is due on
March 13-14 in Geneva.

It’s worth mentioning that Araz Azimov’s statement is kind of strange,
taking into consideration that Elmar Mammadyarov was the first to
declare about his willingness to meet with Vartan Oskanian in Geneva.
