"Statements of the Armenian Foreign Minister contradict the logic and essence of the current negotiations. Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian still remains committed to his tradition and makes non-constructive and controversial statements,” said the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's Spokesman Hikmat Hajiyev.

“Despite he must act in compliance with the logic and essence of the current negotiations, he is still trying to perpetuate the status quo. And this contradicts the position of the presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries, who have repeatedly stated that the status quo is unacceptable and unsustainable."

"The Azerbaijani side remains committed to substantive talks, and welcomes the results of the meeting at the presidential level, which was held in a constructive way in St. Petersburg," Hikmat Hajiyev added.
