Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said there are chances to yield
positive results at the talks on the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Azimov, who is also the president's special envoy for the talks on
the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, said on Monday, "The situation is
changing. There are chances to yield results at the talks on
Nagorno-Karabakh."
At the same time, he stressed that after the Warsaw talks "there is a
hope for bringing closer to each other and finding a common
language."
The diplomat said the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents might meet
in Kazan as part of the CIS summit in August. Ahead of the summit the
foreign ministers of the two countries may hold talks if it
necessary, Azimov noted.
It is necessary to step up the talks. Experts should meet to discuss
variants of Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, the deputy minister said. He
did not rule out a possibility of new proposals, which may be put
forth by co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group for Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The latest meetings with them allow us to hope for this," he added.
