Baku reports progress in Karabakh talks

"Although the talks were difficult, they were very constructive. The main issue for us is to make at least one step forward in the negotiating process. The parties made that step this time," Tagizadeh said.

"The main achievement is that the talks are continuing and that the ministers managed to discuss all aspects of the package being negotiated," the diplomat said, but did not elaborate.

"Azerbaijan's position is that the settlement cannot be partial. It must cover all issues or it has no sense at all. The parties have not been able to come to terms on all aspects of the settlement," Tagizadeh said, Interfax informs.

Tagizadeh noted that the preparations are being carried out for the presidents' meeting in the frame of CIS Summit talks to be held on November 21-23 in Minsk, APA reports.
