PRESS RELEASE
13-02-2007
Vladimir Karapetian, Acting Spokesperson
responds to the questions by Arminfo news agency regarding Azimov's comments
.Question: Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister has called the last Moscow meeting
as a "step backwards" and said that "if Armenians do not continue based on
our former agreements, then it will probably be pointless to continue." How
do you interpret this?
Answer: It is odd that comments about the Moscow negotiations are
being made 20 days after that meeting.
We have already had the opportunity to assess the most recent stage of
negotiations, and we consider them constructive and hopeful. The mediators
agreed with this assessment. It is possible that in anticipation of the next
meeting of foreign ministers, the Azerbaijani Deputy Minister is preparing
the ground, as he has done countless times in the past, for the Azerbaijani
side's non-constructive approach.
