Armenian side makes proposals contradictory to the concept of the peace process during the negotiations in Kazan- Azerbaijani FM

Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov was present at the talks between the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents, mediated by the Russian president, which ended without agreement on 24 June.

He said in an exclusive interview with ANS PRESS that the Armenian side had made proposals contradictory to the concept of the peace process during the negotiations in Kazan.

This echoes criticism of Azerbaijan made by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian after the summit.

"The Azerbaijani side proposed about 10 amendments, and this was the reason that the meeting in Kazan saw no breakthrough," Nalbandian said.

Elmar Mammadyarov told that six principles had been set out in the road map, or statement, that it had been hoped the presidents would adopt at the summit.

One of the principles is the withdrawal of Armenian troops from the districts adjacent to Nagorno-Karabakh, Mammadyarov said.

"This principle has already collapsed too. Therefore, these discussions were of great importance to us. On the one hand, we continue talks for stability and peace in the region. It cannot be said that Armenia does not want the same. On the other hand, Yerevan has its own view of the process," the Azerbaijani foreign minister said.
