Question: According to Azerbaijani sources today Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Mammadyarov has stated that the agreement by Armenia to the document on the table in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict negotiation process, can be a serious breakthrough in that process. What is your reaction to that statement?

Answer: We are truly surprised at that announcement, since in the recent period Azerbaijan has began to stand back and resist provisions already agreed to regarding Nagorno Karabakh’s status, which are in and continue to remain in the document, proposed by Co-chairs.  

If the reports in fact correspond to the truth and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister has agreed to the provisions on Nagorno Karabakh status, we welcome that.
