“It was a joint statement by the presidents. Serzh Sargsyan’s irresponsibly going beyond that statement is not right,” Mammadyarov noted.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan held a summit in Geneva, Switzerland on Oct. 16. A joint statement by the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs following the Geneva meeting of the two presidents said the meeting took place in a constructive atmosphere. The presidents agreed to take measures to intensify the negotiations over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict’s settlement and to take additional steps to reduce tensions on the line of contact between the two countries’ troops.
Mammadyarov pointed out that the negotiations to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must be substantive.
“There are proposals from the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to hold a meeting of foreign ministers,” he said, adding the venue and date of the meeting will be announced later.
“Most importantly, it is necessary to conduct concrete negotiations,” the FM noted.
