TALKS ON NAGORNY KARABAKH DIRECTED TO THE VERSION OF STEP-BY-STEP
SETTLEMENT
YEREVAN, JANUARY 11. ARMINFO. Talks on Nagorny Karabakh are directed
towards the version of step-by-step settlement of the conflict, the
head of department for international relations of the Azerbaijani
presidential staff Novruz Mamedov told the “525th newspaper” of Baku.
According to him, opinions on removal of the problem by this way are
reflected in the proposals made by various international
organizations. Armenia have not agreed for years to continue the
negotiations on the basis of these principles. “However, the
negotiations are going in this way and it is decided to continue this
process. We do hope that serious measures will be taken towards the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict this year”, Mamedov says.
He thinks that the Azerbaijani diplomacy has an aim to achieve a full
support of international community, the absence of which is one of the
reasons hindering the conflict’s settlement. “A serious work is done
with the CE, UN, EU and other international organizations last years”,
he says.
Answering the question about further fate of the Azerbaijani
initiative “on discussions of the situation in the occupied territory
of Azerbaijan”, Mamedov noted that the final resolution is not adopted
yet, however, according to him, the negotiations may be continued at
any time. “This circumstance keeps Armenia in the constant fear and we
aim to attract an attention of the whole world to both the illegal
actions of Armenia and the fact of occupation of our lends. We believe
that the discussions in UN General Assembly will be continued and the
resolution reflecting the issue we raised will be adopted, Mamedov
says. -r-
