Yeravan-APA. Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian said he was
hopeful that his meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov on May 6 in Strasbourg would be rich in content, APA
quotes Armenian sites.

In his address to the Armenian parliament Nalbadian said it would
be their first meeting and most likely would have a character of
acquaintance. "It will be an acquaintance but I hope that the meeting
will end with the agreement to continue talks". The minister also said
that concerns over the boost of Azerbaijan’s defense expenses couldn’t
be estimated as interference in internal affairs of that country.
