22 May 2009 [09:16] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijan has not changed its opinion of the meeting in Prague, said director of the Center of Peace and Conflict Resolution Elhan Mehtiyev, speaking about Armenia's claims that Azerbaijan was initially pleased with the outcome of talks in Prague and now it is not.
According to him, these claims are wrong because Azerbaijani side initially did not make any statements and it was Armenia which voiced statements immediately after the negotiations. They reported that the talks were very productive, constructive, and the parties reconciled their positions on certain issues.

"The statement from Azerbaijan was voiced by Elmar Mamedyarov only three days after the meeting. The Foreign Minister expressed his astonishment by the sounded positive assessment. He said that on the contrary no breakthrough has been achieved. On the other hand, US and French mediators also made optimistic statements", noted the conflict expert/

"The Russian co-chairman has been more pragmatic. But I did not notice that Azerbaijan evaluated the meeting in Czech and then changed it for the opposite", concluded Mehtiyev.
