The Paris meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov
was aimed at bringing Azerbaijan back to a constructive field,
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated during the budget
discussions at the National Assembly. Without going into detail about
the results of the meetings, the Minister said it helped clarify
the situation following the shameful deal on Safarov extradition,
which was a serious blow to the negotiation process.
“Armenia declared a few days after Safarov’s transfer that it was
resolute to continue the talks. If there is any party that does
not want to continue the negotiations, it is the Azerbaijani side,”
he said.
According to Nalbandian, there have been changes in the position of
the international community over the past few months; a great number
of countries and organizations have severely criticized and expressed
their dismay over the Azerbaijani-Hungarian deal.
“Only one thing has remained unchanged: it is the willingness of
Armenia and the international community to continue the negotiation
process and impose a peaceful solution to Azerbaijan,” Minister
Nalbandian stated.
