Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said that as there
many issues have been agreed on, now is the right time to solve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Trend reports. He was commenting on the
alleged `road plan’, mentioned by the U.S. Ambassador Matthew Bryza,
the OSCE Minks Group Co-chair.

`However we should still continue talks on the more difficult
issues,’ the Minister stressed.

Mammadyarov said that the plan involves defining the methods on the
possible signing of an agreement. `I do not regard it as a new
principle of the negotiation process.’

With regards to the opportunities for dispatching the Azerbaijani
peacemakers to Lebanon, the Minister said that the issue should be
studied separately. `It is necessary to define the situation in
Lebanon, as the question concerning the mandate of peacemakers has
not been solved yet. I cannot say that Azerbaijan will dispatch its
peacemakers there, but we are dealing with the issue,’ Mammadyarov
stated.
