ArmInfo. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict want to organize a meeting this fall between the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia.
However, the actions of Armenia actually reduce the efforts of the mediators to nothing. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov stated this in an interview with TASS on the eve of his visit to Moscow.
According to him, "Armenia's disruption of the conflict settlement process in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and other occupied territories of Azerbaijan is not limited to the military attack that took place on July 12". "The leadership of this country undermines the chances for the resumption of negotiations, stating the need to consolidate the results of the war, excluding the possibility of liberating the territories, threatening to strike at Azerbaijani settlements, continuing the policy of illegal settlement of the occupied territories, thereby changing the demographic situation there. This list of aggressive statements and provocative steps of the Armenian side can be continued. In such circumstances, it would be premature to talk about the dates of the meeting of the foreign ministers. We expect from the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs the guarantees of the readiness of the Armenian side to conduct substantive negotiations on the liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and the elimination of other consequences of the armed conflict, as provided for by four UN Security Council resolutions of 1993 and the decision of the 1994 OSCE Budapest Summit. The implementation of such agreements will make it possible to proceed to further consideration of political issues, "the head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.
