Yerevan, Baku continue negotiations on Karabakh conflict
Yerevan. (Interfax) – Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian told
a press conference in Yerevan that his meeting with the Azerbaijani
foreign minister in Prague last week “was useful, but the dialogue is
not finished yet.”
He said that Armenia “did not manage to clearly understand the
Azerbaijani side’s final approach to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”
“In the current situation, the only thing I can report about the
meeting is that it was agreed to conduct another meeting of the
Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers in mid-May,” Oskanian
said.
He also said that at the meeting in Prague, the co-chairmen of the
OSCE’s Minsk group did not offer the sides any new ways to settle the
conflict.
Talking about political destabilization in Armenia, Oskanian said
that regrettably, “the internal political situation in Armenia may be
misunderstood by Baku.” This may lead to a change in Azerbaijan’s
position on settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he said.
