The Kazan meeting of the Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenia n presidents was one of the longest in this format. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov made this statement commenting on the Kazan meeting, Trend reports.
"Discussions were held on issues of concern, which are obstacle to make a progress in resolving the conflict. Unfortunately, we have been unable to reach a compromise decision on a number of principal issues, because the Armenian side requires maximum concessions from Azerbaijan, distorting the essence of the negotiation process that began seven years ago", Mammadyarov said.
He said however the presidents agreed to continue and seek points of convergence of positions.
Answering to a question regarding the Armenian Foreign Ministry’s statement , made after the presidents’ Kazan meeting, Mammadyarov said that it is again distortion of facts and documents.
"For some reason, the Armenian side was silent, when Azerbaijan stated about acceptance of the updated Madrid document, officially submitted by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in Athens in 2009, and talks about one of the many versions of a working document, which is based on the updated Madrid document .
I would like to advise the Armenian Foreign Ministry not to be engaged in PR, but work intensively to change the existing negative status quo, to which the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries’ presidents call.
Following the presidents' meeting I got the impression that the presidents intends to work intensively in this direction," Mammadyarov said.
