"We are again surprised by the fact that Azerbaijan tries to put forth an approach not corresponding to the contents of the current talks on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Acting Spokesman of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Vladimir Karapetyan said when commenting on the statement by Azeri FM Elmar Mammadyarov who said that "the stepwise resolution of the conflict is the best one."
"We have many times stated that the achievement of mutual consent first of all implies the acknowledgement by Azerbaijan of the right of Karabakh people to self-determination, after what liquidation of consequences of war may be discussed," he said, reported the RA MFA press office.
