Armenian President is surprised by Baku accusations about alleged  violations of some agreements folloing the Geneva meeting  Sargsyan-Aliyev

ArmInfo. "For me, frankly, a  very strange situation has arisen, when after the Geneva talks the  Azeri side, with particular anger, tries to emphasize that I have  violated any agreements," President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan  announced this on October 24 at the National Defense University.

"Sincerely, it's strange, and I'm looking forward to our next meeting  with great anticipation, to ask my colleague what angered them, while  people who actually do not need to be aware of our conversation,  because we talked together, and if we had an agreement not to tell  anyone, then as his assistants, or, I do not know, deputies, etc.,  I'm familiar with the topic, I assure you: I did not say a word out  of our conversation, and what I said at the meeting with the Armenian  community Switzerland? I said that no Armenian leader can sign up I  said that Karabakh should be outside of Azerbaijan, and thirdly, I  said that the President of Azerbaijan is also concerned about the  safety and the death of his soldiers, that is, what's new? "I  repeated I say that for 20 years we have been talking for 25 years,  that is, if it seemed to anyone that if we held talks in Geneva, we  said and accepted a statement that tensions should be weakened, this  does not mean that Karabakh's desire for independence should also be  weakened. Sincerely speaking, it's very strange for me, "Sargsyan  said.

Recall that in Geneva on October 16, the Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting was  held. The meeting was attended by Armenian and Azeri FMs Edward  Nalbandian and Elmar Mammadyarov, Minsk mediators Igor Popov  (Russia), Andrew Scheffer (USA), Stefan Visconti (France) and  Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej  Kasprzyk. The meeting was held in a constructive atmosphere. The  presidents agreed to take additional measures to intensify the  negotiation process and reduce tensions on the contact line. At the  same time, the mediators expressed their commitment to continue  working with the parties to the Karabakh conflict to find a peaceful  way to resolve it. As a next step in this direction, the mediator  called the organization of working meetings with the foreign  ministers of the two countries.  Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan,  in the framework of his visit to Geneva, met with the representatives  of the Armenian community of Switzerland after a meeting with the  President of Azerbaijan at the Armenian Embassy. Sargsyan during his  speech spoke about the results of the last meeting with Azerbaijani  President Ilham Aliyev. "A few minutes ago the meeting with the  Azerbaijani President ended, there are no concrete agreements on the  options for resolving the conflict, but agreed to take measures to  reduce tension so that there are no victims on the front line." I  must say that both the Azerbaijani President and I have a deep  interest in this, God willing to always think so, he also understands  the complexity of the problem, of course I am, but the problem is  that there will never be an easy solution, but in one more issue I  want you to be sure for us there is no solution that can to some  extent undermine the security of Karabakh.The only solution for us is  that Karabakh is not part of Azerbaijan.Never one Armenian leader can  make such a decision and realize it, therefore we will do everything  while developing Armenia, economically strengthening our country,  "Sargsyan concluded.

This statement of Sargsyan caused an ambiguous reaction in Baku,  high-ranking Azerbaijani officials accused Sargsyan of violating  joint agreements on non-disclosure of the contents of the talks.
