"Result is more important in Nagorno Karabakh than process"

Azerbaijan's primary principle is to achieve results as opposed to being engaged in the negotiation process, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a press conference with his Georgian counterpart Grigol Vashadze in Tbilisi. He touched upon the Nagorno-Karabakh talks held with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow.

"We believe that the current status quo around the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh meets no one," he said. "We wait for real results."

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister stressed that there is "some progress" during the talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. "There is coordination and rapprochement of the parties' positions," he said. "The intensive negotiations must be continued on a number of the issues."

The working meeting of Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia, Elmar Mammadyarov, Sergei Lavrov and Edward Nalbandian took place in Moscow on Saturday.

It was possible to bring the positions on key issues of basic principles of the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement closer.

The draft document will be reviewed at the next tripartite meeting between the presidents of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia in Kazan in late June.
