Head of State said they still have doubts regarding Armenia’s sincerity in the negotiations
Baku. Victoria Dementieva – APA. “My recent meeting with Armenian President was more optimistic than the previous one. There was a long stagnation in the process, due to Armenia’s reluctance to negotiate, said the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev at the meeting with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in Brussels, APA reports.
Addressing the press conference, Aliyev said that Azerbaijan still has doubts regarding Armenia’s sincerity in the negotiations and thinks that the opposite side will intend to preserve the status quo.
Azerbaijani President mentioned that presidents of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries have repeatedly stressed in their statements that the status quo is unacceptable: “We think that this is a serious message to Armenia. If they want to change the status quo, they should put an end to the occupation of our lands”.
Ilham Aliyev noted that foreign ministers of both countries will meet this month and this meeting will show how sincere Armenia is: “If Armenia makes a realistic assessment of the situation, we will soon be able to resolve the conflict”.
