The information spread on signing of a peace agreement during Warsaw meeting of Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia is groundless.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammedyarov said to the journalists that no document will be signed.
"No agreement was worked on in the last negotiations. Both London talks and Frankfurt talks were the continuation of Prague process. We hold meeting with OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen privately and concrete frame of the further meetings was defined. Meeting on Presidents level is due to be next meeting in Warsaw, the direction of the measures will be known".
Head of MFA expressed his confidence on the realization of meeting between the Presidents. "Presidents met last in Astana and we have done a lot in the level of Foreign Ministers since that meeting. The work done in the frame of Prague process will be evaluated in Warsaw meeting. Later on the Presidents are to give instruction on how to direct our work".
Elmar Mammedyarov said of the report drown up by Fact- finding Mission of OSCE to have been delivered to the UNO member countries. "The report of Fact- finding Mission investigating the illegal settlement process carried out by Armenia in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan has been written out in six languages and presented to the UNO member states. Besides, OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen's suggestions on this matter have been delivered to UNO member states. The UNO member states need time for getting acquainted with this document, later on we shall take steps from our side".
Elmar Mammedyarov said that, the note sent to Foreign Ministry of Russia on not permitting "Maestro Niyazi" and "Natevan" ships of Azerbaijan to the Caspian Sea has not been responded yet. "We wait for the respond to our note sent to Russia. Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't finish its work in sending note only, we go on the talks concerning letting our ships to the Caspian Sea via Volga-Don canal. We try to solve this matter as soon as possible. I am sure this matter will not present any obstacle to the construction of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan main export oil pipeline. 98% of the pipeline is ready and opening ceremony of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan main export oil pipeline will be held on May 25".
Head of MFA also expressed opinion on Uzbekistan's decision on quitting GUUAM. "Uzbekistan's quitting GUUAM is a step taken relevant to its foreign policy course. Each country has its own foreign policy course and makes decisions correspondingly. Uzbekistan joined GUUAM in 1999 and made decision to quit this organization in 2005.The matter which Azerbaijan has concern in is GUUAM becoming a strong organization. As you know, very useful decisions were made in Kishinev summit. That is Uzbekistan's own business whether it leaves GUUAM".
