"Any improvement is possible if there is a strong will," Azerbaijani
deputy foreign minister Araz Azimov told journalists (APA).
The deputy minister said the main thing is that specific frameworks
exist and constructiveness and promptness are needed to solve the
problem in these frameworks.
"Azerbaijan is ready to the improvement in this framework. There
are different models, there exist different forms of self-governing
statuses in Europe and in other regions. However, all these statues
are enjoyed on condition of preserve of territorial integrity of the
states they exist," Mr.Azimov said.
Commenting on OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs often visiting the region,
Azimov said the objective of these visits is to decide on further steps
following the talks at Rambouillet, the sides continuing negotiating
process or finding other ways out.
The deputy minister also said that the co-chairs haven't presented
official Baku with new proposals or a new project.
Commenting on the recent regular violation of the cease-fire in the
frontline, Azimov said the Azerbaijani government is concerned about
this case, and noted this does not serve peace process.
"Azerbaijan does not want the cease-fire violation, and advocates
continuing the negotiating process in normal atmosphere," he said.
Responding to the question that the Great 8 is due to discuss the
Nagorno Garabagh conflict in St.Petersburg, Russia, Azimov said this
meeting is important from the aspect of the most developed states
coming together to solve urgent and difficult problems concerning
the international scene.
"Heads of state, who are responsible for great resources and political
wills, come together. However, if Armenian President and the Armenian
side do not respond to Azerbaijan's constructiveness, neither the Great
8 nor any other great alliance can solve this issue. At the same time,
the Great 8 bringing this issue to focus is important. Because, it is
urgent as a political influence, on one hand, this is a framework which
can influence politically. On the other hand, economical resources
of the countries participating in this framework make us to conclude
that these states can donate a gift to renovation works in the region
after the solution of the conflict. This issue can be discussed in
the framework of a meeting.
However, a certain improvement should be achieved by that. Otherwise,
I think such issues are pointless", Araz Azimov concluded.
