Baku / 02.12.19 / Turan: A set of issues of Karabakh settlement will be discussed at the upcoming meeting in Bratislava, said the Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan on December 2 at a press conference in Yerevan.
The Minister said there was a single package of issues regarding the settlement and the atmosphere in which negotiations are ongoing.
“Our position is known. Our priorities are the security of Nagorno-Karabakh and its status,” he said.
As for the atmosphere, there has recently been a modest result, the minister said, referring to the exchange of visits by journalists. “We will continue to work in this direction,” he added, without revealing details.
An exchange of delegations of parliamentarians of the two countries was soon to take place, according to unofficial source. However, this issue is likely to be postponed due the dissolution of the Azerbaijani parliament. -02D-
