The Azerbaijani leader stressed that Armenia should recognize the principles of the conflict settlement, determined by the OSCE Minsk Group, after which Baku will return to the negotiating table.

Meanwhile, Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan held a number of meetings in Washington, which he called "very productive".
