Armenians should not hope that they will be able to gain from
protracting peace talks on Nagornyy Karabakh, a senior Azerbaijani
diplomat has said following a meeting between the two country’s
presidents in St Petersburg.
"We are not going to leave them in peace," Deputy Foreign Minister
Araz Azimov told Azerbaijan’s public television on 9 June.
Azimov said that the meeting between Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan and
Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia, held on 6 June, was "important from the
political viewpoint".
The diplomat added that Azerbaijan would do everything to ensure that
Armenia pulls its troops out of Nagornyy Karabakh and the surrounding
seven districts captured during a war in the 1990s.
