Oskanian: we'll know Baku's true intentions soonMarch 20, 2008 - 16:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Fortunately, we will have an opportunity to know about Azerbaijan's intentions soon. Armenia's President-Elect will meet with the Azerbaijani President in Bucharest during the NATO Summit, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said. "We've stated our readiness for a meeting. I know that the co-chairs will make such a proposal, and I know that Azerbaijan has also agreed to continue the dialogue at the highest levels. During their first meeting President-elect Sargsyan and Azerbaijani President Aliyev will certainly discuss the UN-adopted resolution. If the latter truly wants the resolution to be the guideline, then there's nothing to talk about and waste time." "But if Baku is committed to the document under negotiation, then let's get serious and go the short distance that's left. Indeed, the UN resolution text and the content of the negotiated document are incompatible. That is why the resolution was opposed by most of the international community, which was also perturbed by Azerbaijan's recent grave breaches of the ceasefire. These two facts taken together should indeed make the international community think whether Azerbaijan is serious about its commitments to peace. We are. We will do what we must, up to adoption of new policies to secure Karabakh's self-determination and security," Minister Oskanian said in an interview with Azdak Beirut-based newspaper.
