YEREVAN. – Direct dialogue between Yerevan and Baku must not be end
in itself, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud Mammad-Guliyev
told the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent.
“There was a dialogue, but it has been canceled. As to a direct
dialogue, everything will depend on preparation for it. There must be
serious preparation, serious issues. This must not be a meeting for
the sake of a meeting. There must be a discussion with some decisions.
It depends on presidents,” Mammad-Guliyev said on the margins of
informal meeting of the FMs of Eastern partnership member countries.
In his recent statement conveyed by U.S. Co-Chair James Warlick,
Barack Obama urged President Sargsyan to use an opportunity for a
direct dialogue with Azerbaijan in the months ahead and “to avail
yourself of the co-chairs’ time and experience.” Similar message was
conveyed to Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev.
