Azerbaijan is ready to hold postponed trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia as soon as possible, Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov told reporters on Friday.
"We are ready to hold the postponed trilateral meeting of the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia as soon as possible. Now everything depends on the opposite side," the minister said, quoted by the Baku-based Report news agency.
Bayramov regarded the Armenian side's refusal from the meeting, which had been scheduled for December 23, as "a vivid example of irresponsibility."
"Advancing the peace agenda has always been Azerbaijan's initiative. All our basic principles (normalization of relations) were presented by Azerbaijan to the opposite side," the head of the Azerbaijani foreign minister added.
A meeting between the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia was scheduled for December 23 in Moscow to negotiate a peace treaty between Baku and Yerevan. However, the day before it became known that the Armenian side refused to participate in the meeting because of the situation on the Lachin road.
