At the meeting in Vienna, Azerbaijan agreed to strengthen the ceasefire regime to continue future negotiations.

Novruz Mammadov, deputy head of the Azerbaijani presidential administration and chief of the administration’s foreign relations department, told the abovementioned to ANS television of Azerbaijan.

“Most importantly, to continue to respect the ceasefire regime, to avoid provocations, and to begin negotiations in June,” Mammadov added.

And commenting on the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group Co-Chairs’ statements on the expansion of the powers of the office of Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, Personal Representative to the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Mammadov said: “There can’t be any significant changes in Andrzej Kasprzyk’s powers. This is the Minsk Group’s position, and we have not taken any obligations regarding the issue.” 

To note, the word is about expanding Andrzej Kasprzyk’s team so as to consolidate the ceasefire. As a result, even though Azerbaijan declares that it supports this process, it actually works against it.
