    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister: `There is no serious progress in the
    meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents'

    [ 09 May 2009 13:42 ]

    Baku. Victoria Dementyeva `APA. Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov
    made announcement on the results of the meeting between the presidents
    of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Prague.

    The minister said there was no serious progress in the meeting, APA
    reports. `There is no any serious progress. We have to develop the
    talks. There were complicated issues in the meeting. Unfortunately
    Armenia didn't show constructiveness again'.

    The minister expressed opinion about the reports on the tense
    atmosphere of the talks. `I wouldn't use the word `tense', but there
    is a fact of occupation of the lands. Azerbaijan demands the Armenian
    forces to be withdrawn from there soon. The discussions are going on
    these principles. I can't say that there was a serious progress'.

    Mammadyarov said the next meeting of the presidents of Azerbaijan and
    Armenia was planned to be held within the St. Petersburg Economic
    Forum early June. The co-chairs will visit the region until that and
    will discuss the detail of the meeting. The foreign ministers are also
    expected to meet if it is necessary, the minister said.

    The foreign minister spoke about his meeting with US Secretary of
    State Hillary Clinton. `We had good meeting. We mentioned the Nagorny
    Karabakh and energy issues. Hillary Clinton emphasized the importance
    of peace and stability in the region and between Azerbaijan and
    Armenia. This is very important statement. She promised to make all
    efforts for that'.

    Mammadyarov said new situation was created in the region. `The United
    States, Russian and European Union have a higher role in this
    situation. I believe if the United States provides large assistance,
    we can achieve the progress'.
