Azerbaijan’s FM met Minsk Group co-chairs Robert Bradtke, Igor Popov and personal representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office Andrzej Kasprzyk.
According to the press service for the Foreign Ministry, during the meeting the sides discussed the negotiation process for the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict and stressed the importance to continue these talks.
Minister Mammadyarov said with regret that Armenia rejected the updated Madrid principles thus challenging the whole peace process.
A significant progress is only possible in the event Armenia accepts the official document presented by the Minsk Group to Azerbaijan and Armenia in December 2009.
During the meeting, it was brought to the attention of the sides that the status quo does not meet the requirement of either Azerbaijan or the world community, as fixed in the relevant documents adopted in the French city of Deauville. As is known, Azerbaijan offers to start working at the peace treaty based on the mutual agreement on a number of principles of the resolution process.
Minister Mammadyarov especially noted that the possible understanding by Armenia of the need to withdraw its troops from Azerbaijani occupied lands will promote peace and stability in the region.
