Official Baku thinks it’s "absurd to engage the Armenian community
of Nagorno Karabakh in the negotiation process," according to an
Azeri official.
"Azerbaijan is not going to engage the Armenian community of Nagorno
Karabakh in talks because it is negotiating with Armenia," said Novruz
Mammadov, head of the foreign relations department at the Azerbaijani
presidential executive administration.
"Should Armenia quit the process and pledge not to interfere anymore,
the issue will be possibly considered in the future," he added.
"Azerbaijan can agree to negotiate with the Armenian community of
Nagorno Karabakh, but only in case the definite issues regarding joint
habitation of Nagorno Karabakh’s Azerbaijani and Armenian communities
after striking a peace agreement are solved, which is unlikely to
come soon," Mammadov said, Trend Azeri news agency reports
