Azerbaijan must get rid of its medieval mentality, according to Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan .

As he said commenting on recent statement by his Azeri counterpart Araz Azimov, “As soon as Azerbaijan is ready to return occupied Nagorno Karabakh regions and recognize NKR independence, Baku can ask NKR for talks.”

“Co-Chairs suggest returning 5 occupied territories of Azerbaijan and Lachin corridor, followed by Armenia’s requesting official Baku for time to return Lachin and Kelbajar,” Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov said in an interview with public television.
