Azeri President Ilham Aliyev has given his consent to another meeting
with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in one of the European capitals,
Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists on Wednesday.
"The particular venue and the time of the meeting will be determined
within the next few days," Mammadyarov said.
"We are planning to hold a meeting between the Azeri and Armenian
presidents in a European city, after which we will continue
negotiations at the Foreign Ministry level within the framework of a
meeting between the OSCE foreign ministers in Athens on December 1-2,"
he said.
No new proposals on settling the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh have
been made so far, he said.
"We have been discussing the basic principles over the past five
years. Some nuances appear, and, unfortunately, Armenia is again
proposing that issues that we discussed earlier and on which we
thought we reached agreements be discussed again," Mammadyarov said.
"It is difficult to negotiate in such conditions. Therefore, we
should see seriously whether we are ready for progress, that is,
whether Armenia is ready for and wants progress or whether these are
just negotiations," Mammadyarov said.
