Elmar Mammadyarov: "The sides come to closure on the discussed issues"

According to APA, discussions held in the level of co-chairs and presidents level in the meeting which lasted for 5 hours.

"I can say that there is any advance. Presidents make precise their positions. The two sides' position should be appropriate to each other. Though the meeting in the level of Presidents completed, but co-chairs stayed in Bucharest. Today or tomorrow if they adopt a decision on holding meeting in the level of foreign ministers, we can hold one more meeting." According to the minister all the issues should be thoroughly discussed.

"We have to continue talks on the issues that we do not agree on the points. We have not reached an agreement on some issues, but talks should be continued. I hope that we shall come to an agreement in the end of the talks; the sides come to closure on the discussed issues. That is why we think that we have chance to continue Prague talks. You know that a conflict is of sensitive matter. Therefore it is impossible to solve it difficult. Now we work on this problem and try to solve it."

As concerns holding of the meeting, Elmar Mammadyarov stated each meeting to be important.

He said that the arguments forwarded by Armenians are not based on international law: "If we really want to place permanent peacekeepers to the region then decisions to be adopted should be to international law. This is of importance for the future. After 10 or even 50 years later, no one can say that this decision is against law. That is why we think that any agreement should be within international law norms. Occupied territories, 1 million refugees and displaced people are of Azerbaijan. Armenia has implemented ethnic cleansing. All these are facts. On the other hand Armenia wants integration to Euroatlantic area. There is diversity between word and deed of Armenia, regularly international community understands it."
