Azerbaijan seeks to have good relations with neighbours, but Armenia
should also take steps in this direction, Azerbaijan’s Foreign
Minister, Elmar Mammadyarov said during his speech at the Harriman
Institute of Columbia University on Sept. 22, Trend News reported.
In his speech, Mammadyarov particularly raised the issue of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The Minister said the resolution of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the main priority of Azerbaijan’s
foreign policy.
"Azerbaijan has such a geopolitical location that the solution to
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not only important for its own
development, but also for the development of the whole region,"
said Mammadyarov.
"The negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia are being held,
the influence of countries, such as the U.S., Russia and France is
very important in resolving this conflict," said Mammadyarov.
