"A meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council will be held in Vilnius in early December. Azerbaijan`s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov will also attend the meeting," said Deputy FM of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov.
"The Foreign Minister is not planning to meet his Armenian counterpart. It is technically easy to organize a ministerial meeting and they can meet during the conference. What`s important is something else: why should they meet at all? So that we can hear the Armenian foreign minister`s position yet again? It`s unlikely that Azerbaijan will accept a meeting with enthusiasm."
"The co-chairs are expected to visit the region in late November, but I am not expecting any result from this visit. Armenia is misusing the situation, as in the past. Armenia`s misuse of the occupied Azerbaijani territories shows that it is not interested in progress in the peace process. Armenia takes a different path instead of responding to constructive proposals."
"Azerbaijan has made it clear that it is willing to continue the negotiations. But if the discussions remain without result, it will be irrelevant. The co-chairs` upcoming visit to the region next week doesn`t promise anything. There has been a standstill in the process since the Kazan meeting," the deputy FM added.
