Two pivotal issues were agreed upon during the Paris meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers, Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has said. He did not elaborate, saying that the sides had agreed to keep these issues confidential.
Mammadyarov said that despite progress in talks, the sides have not agreed upon certain issues yet.
“We will certainly discuss these issues in the future and outline what steps should be taken to achieve goals.”
Mammadyarov said the talks are underway based on the principles outlined during the Warsaw meeting of the two countries’ presidents and the foreign ministers are trying to arrive at a consensus. “After consensus is reached on all principles, their gist will be reflected on paper,” he said.
The minister went on to say that he held an informal meeting with his Armenian counterpart Vardan Oskanian in Brussels last week during an international event dedicated to the future developments in Iraq. The parties discussed the most efficient directions to continue the negotiations and complete the peace process soon, he said.
Commenting on Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov’s statement that peace talks may yield results in August, Mammadyarov said it is difficult to cite the exact timing.
“Frankly, I don’t expect the talks to yield results till the end of August, when Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents will meet in Kazan.”
