"Azerbaijan and Armenia could not achieve the desired results at
presidents’ Moscow meeting."

Azerbaijani Presidential Administration International Relations
Department Head Novruz Mammadov said in his comments on the meeting
of the Azerbaijani and Armenian President that took place in Moscow
on July 18-18.

"The presidents went to the Moscow meeting with great optimism, taking
into account the processes that occurred prior to the meeting – this
is a constructive approach Armenia demonstrated in the St. Petersburg
meeting and then a joint statement by the heads of the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chair countries Nicolas Sarkozy, Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama.

We believed there would be opportunity to achieve significant progress
in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the Moscow meeting. But
as I understand it, despite all this, Armenia has been far from being
constructive to a certain extent at this meeting," Mammadov said.
