Preserving the current status quo in the conflict over Armenian-backed Nagorno-Karabakh is unacceptable because it will inevitably lead to escalating tension in the region, Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said on Thursday.
It is impossible to maintain the status quo in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for a long time, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a press conference following the trilateral meeting with his Iranian, Russian counterparts.
He said that the issue regarding the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was discussed with both Russia and Iran.
"There are specific proposals, we shared ideas and thoughts," the minister said, adding that this issue was discussed Apr. 6 at the presidential level as well. "It is necessary to solve it fast, because people are dying."
He said that it is necessary to get directly engaged in the settlement of the conflict.
