YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan
will continue discussion of those issues which remain unsolved in
the Karabakh conflict regulation agenda, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Elmar Mamedyarov who is currently in Syria stated.
In Damascus Mamedyarov is participating in the 36th session of the
member states of the Islamic Conference Organization.
The discussion between the sides will take place within the frameworks
of the already outlined agenda and will become the continuation of
the contacts in Prague, Mamedyarov said.
The coming meeting of the presidents is expected to be conducted in
Saint Petersburg in June within the frameworks of economic conference.
"During the former Administration of Armenia we have reached everything
in the peaceful process but with the current Administration we have
not reached anything. As a negotiating side, I may say that I cannot
be proud of the changes we reached in the process," he said.
In response to the Azerbaijani statements that Armenia has toughened
its position in the process, Armenian President said at a joint
press conference with Croatian President that "I do not think that the
Republic of Armenia has toughened its position in the negotiations with
Azerbaijan. The core issue of the process is the status of Nagorno
Karabakh and if we put definitely this issue expecting answers it
does not mean that we have toughened our position."
