Baku. Kamala Guliyeva – APA. "Araz Azimov’s ideas comprehensively
clarify certain issues that are on the negotiation table.
The deputy minister raised the issues negotiated there", said
Novruz Mammadov, Chief of International Relations Department of the
Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan, APA reports.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov said Armenia demanded
time for withdrawal from Lachin and Kelbajar.
Mammadov said these proposals were elaborated by the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs. "From this point of view, indeed Armenia demanded
time not only for withdrawal from these two regions, but for other
issues raised by Araz Azimov. Armenia demanded two weeks, several
months passed, but there is no reaction yet".
The department chief said the co-chairs were working on that and
keeping in touch with the sides. "May be we will be informed about the
positions of the sides soon. The raised issue is the most correct way
for solution to the conflict. There is no other solution. Armenia must
understand it very well. This is an opportunity for the international
community and for the leaders of the co-chair countries. It needs to
pressure on Armenia and to try to solve the problem".
Answering the question "can the war be unavoidable by the end of the
year", Mammadov said: "It is difficult to forecast the war, but we
are always ready to liberate our lands by all means".
Mammadov said the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs were working in Vienna
on the issues raised by Araz Azimov. "They have to force Armenia to
accept the project elaborated by them".
