Armenia Puts Off Talks on the Karabakh Conflict
AssA-Irada -- After the Astana meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents, Yerevan has postponed the talks over the settlement of the Nagorno (Mountainous) Karabakh conflict.
Commenting on Armenia 's initiative, Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov confirmed the fact that the Armenian side has requested a delay to analyze the results of the talks held so far. The date for the next round of talks with the Armenian side has not been determined yet, he said.
Azimov underlined there is no need for a meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents' special envoys as all issues related to the conflict settlement are discussed during the regular meetings of the two countries' foreign ministers.
At the Astana summit official Baku called on Armenia to recognize Azerbaijan 's territorial integrity and withdraw its armed forces from the occupied lands.
Azimov stressed that the government of Azerbaijan is ready to ensure the security of the Armenian community in Nagorno Karabakh if Armenia accepts the conditions laid by the Azerbaijani side.
Armenia occupied the former autonomous Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven other Azerbaijani districts in 1991-94 war, forcing over 700,000 Azerbaijanis to leave their homes. Despite an armistice signed in May 1994, no final solution to the conflict has been achieved between the two countries.
