Armenia should refrain from its extreme position to separate
Nagorno-Karabakh from Azerbaijan, Araz Azimov, Deputy Foreign Minister
of Azerbaijan, stated to journalists on 29 May.

The next negotiations between the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents,
which will be held in St. Petersburg in early June, will help to get
a clear picture of official Yerevan’s position regarding settlement
of the conflict.

"The further steps on resolution of the conflict depend on the
principles of the sides. If there are differences in positions,
then there is no sense to continue these negotiations," the Deputy
Foreign Minister said.

Azimov confirmed the adherence of official Baku to settle the conflict
through peaceful means and within the framework of international norms.

"Baku is prepared to continue negotiations within the framework of
the Prague process," Azimov said.
