Azeri MPs do not have anything against a joint PACE conference with Armenian counterparts, head of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE Samed Seyidov said. "We do not mind a meeting with Armenian colleagues, as it was proposed by Lord Russell-Johnston. On the contrary, we do welcome the initiative. However, the talks should focus on resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict but not on improvement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan," Mr Seyidov said, ANS-PRESS reports.

Earlier, chairs of the Azeri parliamentary committees declined Lord Russell-Johnston's proposal.
