Baku says peace talks with Armenia ongoing, but no serious progress yet

Contacts with Armenia on the peace process continue on several fronts, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov was quoted as telling reporters on Saturday.

Bayramov noted that despite ongoing dialogue, Armenia has taken "no serious steps" in the normalization process.

"Azerbaijan has expectations from Armenia, namely the renunciation of territorial claims and the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group. While we are monitoring the developments and maintaining contact, we have yet to see serious steps," the Azeri minister said.
