Baku reacted to the statement of Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan about Azerbaijan's so-called proposals on the normalization of relations between the two countries.

The Armenian Foreign Minister said that the talks on a peace agreement with Azerbaijan should be held without preconditions.

"We do not consider it necessary to reiterate the position that we have repeatedly stated. Taking into account the importance of normalization of relations between the two countries and peacebuilding in the region after the conflict, Azerbaijan has put forward relevant proposals and is ready to move forward in this direction. If Armenia is also serious about this issue, it should present its concrete proposals and thus demonstrate its willingness to start substantive and result-oriented negotiations," Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a comment.
