Wonderful logic of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry
On December 8, in Hamburg was held a meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers with the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group. According to the press secretary of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Hikmet Hajiyev, this was not a meeting, but "dinner together." He also said that the Armenian side earlier refused offers of the French Foreign Minister to hold a meeting in the format of 2 + 3, implying the participation of the Foreign Ministers of the Minsk Group on the one hand, and Armenia and Azerbaijan, on the other hand. "As a result of Armenia's destructive policy and the desire to escape from the meetings, the format of 2 + 3 was disrupted," said Hajiyev.
However, despite such non-diplomatic and disrespectful behavior of the Armenian Minister, the Azerbaijani Minister Elmar Mamedyarov had a dinner with him.
Involuntarily the question arises: if the Armenian minister allowed himself to disrupt the meeting, proposed by the heads of the Foreign Ministers of Russia and France and USA, why did the Azerbaijani minister sits with him at the table and talks? Hikmat Hajiyev explained that it was necessary to discuss the agenda of meetings for the next year. -02D-
