/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "A meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents
is possible if Armenia makes proposals that can interest us," said
Khazar Ibrahim, head of the Azeri MFA press office.

"Instead of making empty statements and accusing Baku, the Armenian
leadership should make exact proposals.

Now, it makes no sense to speak of a presidential meeting," Ibrahim
said, 1news.az.

Two days ago, Armenia’s Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said Armenia
is ready for a presidential meeting during NATO summit in Bucharest
on April 3-4.

"Serzh Sargsyan has agreed to meet. The matter depends on the Azeri
President. At that the agenda will include the resolution on Karabakh
adopted by the UN General Assembly on March 14," he said.

"If Azerbaijan keeps on putting forth the principles of the resolution,
Serzh Sargsyan should announce senselessness of further talks. In
this case, Armenia will have to reconsider its approaches and focus on
ensuring NKR’s security. If Baku agrees to continue talks on the basis
of the OSCE MG proposals, we are ready to negotiate," the Minister said
