Baku is expecting Paris to be more specific about French President
Francois Hollande’s initiative to organize a new meeting between the
presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsian,
respectively.
“Such a proposal from the French, from President Hollande, has already
arrived, and we are now waiting for more details from the French
regarding the organizing of this meeting,” Azeri Foreign Minister
Elmar Mammadyaros said at a briefing held jointly with his Russian
counterpart Sergei Lavrov after bilateral talks in Baku on Wednesday.
The minister said he had nothing more to say on the subject as Baku
was now expecting steps from the French.
With regard to the Wednesday talks with Russian Foreign Minister
Lavrov, Mammadyarov said that the Karabakh conflict was among the
subjects of discussion. “We discussed what to do to move the talks over
Nagorno Karabakh from the deadlock, as a status quo is unacceptable,”
he said.
