Armenia continues constructive and positive negotiations on the
Karabakh settlement with Azerbaijan, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister
Aram Kirakosian told the media in Baku on Thursday.

"We think the negotiations with Azerbaijan are positive and
constructive," he said.

These are sensitive negotiations, the official noted. "Armenia and
Azerbaijan continue the negotiations. The presidents meet, and that
has a positive effect on the negotiating process," he noted.

As for Armenia-Turkey normalizations, Kirakosian said that oral and
written statements differed. "The written statements reflect the
sides’ agreement to normalize relations without preconditions," he
noted.
