Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov met Monday with Swiss
State Secretary of Foreign Affairs Michael Ambuhl.

Mr. Ambuhl said consultations being conducted on the level of Foreign
Ministries of Azerbaijan and Switzerland provide opportunities to
discuss bilateral, regional and global issues, adding they will
also contribute to expanding multifaceted cooperation between the
two countries.

Minister Mammadyarov said his country attaches great importance to
boosting cooperation with Switzerland. He underlined the necessity
of using the existing potential to deepen bilateral ties.

Michael Ambuhl briefed Mammadyarov on the ongoing negotiations between
Turkey and Armenia mediated by Switzerland.

Mammadyarov, in turn, informed the Swiss official of the ongoing
talks to settle the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to the Minister, it is impossible to ensure stability
and security in the region unless the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
is resolved.

The sides also exchanged views on bilateral relations, regional and
international issues.
