Armenia is ready to resume the Prague talks on the settlement in
Karabakh and lead them until the complete settlement, Armenian
Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan told in an interview with radio
Liberty. In his words, considerable results were achieved at the
first round of talks in Prague. “We’ll be able to enhance the results
at the second round of the Prague Talks,” the minister said and added
that Armenia has already given its accord to launch the second round
of talks. Oskanyan thus denied statements by the official Baku that
Armenia asked that the talks be postponed so that it could think its
stance over. Commenting on the issue concerning the occupied
territories in the UN, Oskanyan called this “a serious mistake of
Azerbaijani diplomacy.” In his words, Azerbaijan doesn’t have to hope
that the Prague Talks could be conducted simultaneously with the
discussions in the UN. “We either work in the framework of the Minsk
OSCE Group or official Baku deals with the leaders of Nagorny
Karabakh,” Oskanyan said.
