Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamlet Gasparian Responds to REGNUM News Agency on Azerbajani comments on the recent Paris meeting between foreign ministers
June 21, 2005
Q: What is your reaction to the Azerbaijani claim that a connecting road was discussed during the most recent meeting in Paris of the foreign ministers with the co-chairs?

A: In the negotiation process, each side has the right to talk about any subject. But when one side introduces or talks about a topic, any topic, that doesn't mean that the topic is automatically on the agenda, nor that there is any, even preliminary agreement on that topic.

Second, Armenia's position on these matters is very clear. The primary matter is the status of Nagorno Karabakh, and until there is clarity and agreement on that matter, it is premature to speak about any other issue.
