Azerbaijan has not officially received from Washington proposals on the
resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh,
Trend reports citing Araz Asimov, the Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign
Minister, as saying to journalists.

No document, or a project in form of new proposals, has been
presented to Azerbaijan. “They have only proposed concrete ideas
on the establishment of normal relationships with Armenia on the
completion of the military conflict,” he stressed.

The Deputy FM noted that the liberation of the Azerbaijani territory
will become the first step in the resolution of the conflict.

Azerbaijan does not support war. “We are interested in continuing peace
talks on the resolution of the problems,” the diplomat underlined.

Concerned on the frequent meetings of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
the diplomat said he did not expect more progress from the meeting
of the settlement of the problem.

The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will visit Yerevan and after Baku.

“The key objective is to continue outlining the future steps upon
the meeting in Rambouillet,” Azimov underscored.
