“The meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in St Petersburg tomorrow will most probably have same format with Zurich and Prague meetings”, Azerbaijan Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists, APA reports.
He said traditionally the co-chairs submitted their ideas to the presidents first of all and then the presidents held tete-a-tete meeting, following that the co-chairs and foreign ministers were invited to the meeting and the presidents gave instructions to them. Mammadyarov said it was difficult to make comments on the US co-chair Matthew Bryza’s opinion that “the co-chairs have done enough work in the past two months and if the presidents wished they could reach final results tomorrow”. “It is important point if the co-chairs see any positive point in the process. However I can say that Armenia showed non-constructive position in Prague. I don’t know, may be the co-chairs saw different points in Yerevan. It will become clear in St Petersburg tomorrow. We consider the phase-by-phase settlement and if we reach it, we can say that there is some progress”. The minister said the sides reached an agreement on one issue during the Prague process. “The sides agreed that despite an agreement on some principles, they can not speak about the agreement on the principles if all of them are not agreed”.
