Instead of expressing opinions that Azerbaijan has not yet responded to Armenia’s proposals and creating confusion among the international community, the Armenian Foreign Minister should clarify where the first proposal for the preparation of the peace treaty came from, who presented the basic principles for the first time, and who provided the first draft of the elements of the peace treaty at the Geneva meeting, as well as the issue of how long it took for both Azerbaijan and Armenia to comment on each proposals, Aykhan Hajizada, the head of the Press Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in response to the media's question about the views expressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan during his interview with the "Armenpress" news agency, APA reports.

Aykhan Hajizadeh said that the declaration by Armenia about the readyness for signing the treaty immediately after their latest proposals were submitted in December of last year, showed that this country does not take the negotiation process on the treaty seriously: "Instead of manipulating the process, the Armenian side should declare whether it is ready for a meeting. We would like to emphasize once again that the Azerbaijani side is in favor of conducting negotiations on a peace treaty in a short period of time, and is always ready to it.

At the same time, it is well-known to Foreign Minister Mirzoyan how the planned meeting in Tbilisi between the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia was obstructed by all efforts, and that Armenia since the beginning of December has not yet responded to the proposals to the draft statement of such a possible meeting, presented by Azerbaijan as a sign of constructive approach."
