"The first meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia was
useful only in the political sense", said deputy Foreign Minister of
Azerbaijan Araz Azimov, Azadlyg radio reports.
At the same time, he noted that the importance of the meeting should
not be underestimated.
"Baku got information about Yerevan's position by clarifying a number
of unclear issues. Yet the Armenian side should not hope that it will
be able to meet its interests by lingering the process and conducting
such meetings. We will not leave them alone", noted he,
"Azerbaijan will spread information about Armenia's aggression",
noted Azimov.
"Baku does not intend to trade with Yerevan. Only by releasing the
occupied lands, Armenia will be able to demonstrate real intentions,
as they say, which means guarantee the rights and liberties of the
Nagorno Karabakh Armenians by doing it', said the deputy Foreign
Minister of Azerbaijan.
Commenting on possible peaceful resolution of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, the deputy minister noted that none of the sides will
manage to get a 100% result. "In order to attain something, the sides
need to make compromises, demonstrating flexibility. Baku is ready to
it. Yet it is not known in which form the talks will continue. Several
important issues are still unsettled.
Azimov noted that Armenia could benefit from economic opportunities
of Azerbaijan by returning the occupied lands, according to ANS
TV channel.
It should be noted that the first meeting of Presidents of Azerbaijan
and Armenia Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sarkissyan was held in Saint
Petersburg on June 6 in the framework of informal CIS summit.
