"Before the Patriotic War, there was a certain expectation in Azerbaijan that the mediators of the negotiation process would put pressure on Armenia. Long-term expectations later turned to disappointmentm" said Jeyhun Bayramov.
"The response to the issues raised by Azerbaijan was always that you should understand us, we have a mediating role and function, we should create a framework and encourage Armenia to negotiate and direct contacts with Azerbaijan, as a result of which peace should be achieved. We, in our turn, put a kind of equality sign between the aggressor country and the aggressed country. That is, despite all this, Azerbaijan approached this issue with restraint. But today we see different behavior in a number of cases," he added.
