(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 18. Armenia has canceled
previously agreed meeting, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev said making a press statement together with President of the
Republic of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda, Trend reports.
'We called on Armenia to embark on the delimitation of borders.
Because our state border with Armenia, including several districts
of Azerbaijan which make up 20 percent of the territory, had been
under occupation for about 30 years. Therefore, the need for
delimitation of borders is obvious. At a meeting initiated by the
President of the European Council, Mr. Charles Michel, in Brussels
on 6 April, it was agreed that both sides would establish a working
group by the end of April and start their work.
Azerbaijan set up its working group on time and was ready to
send out a delegation. This was agreed with the Armenian side. By
the way, it was the Armenian Foreign Ministry that proposed to hold
the first meeting on the border issue. Azerbaijan accepted the
offer and we were ready to send out a delegation. However, on the
last day, on 29 April, Armenia canceled the agreed meeting. This is
very disappointing. Even more disappointing was Armenia's refusal
to hold a different meeting on the border issue on 7-11 May, based
on Armenia's initial proposal. So we are waiting for new dates from
Armenia to start work. Because such an irresponsible position, of
course, is worrying,' the head of state said.
