The Paris negotiations on the Karabakh settlement are aimed at the
elaboration of "main principles of the drafting of a peace treaty
acceptable for the both sides," French Foreign Ministry spokesman
Jean-Baptiste Mattei told Itar-Tass commenting on Tuesday’s meeting
between the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers.

The two ministers met in Paris under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk
Group.

The diplomat stressed that the principles should be "balanced, fair
and workable."

Mattei reaffirmed that the October 6 meeting between the Armenian and
Azerbaijani foreign ministers in Moscow, which also was held under
the OSCE auspices, gave the start to the present-day round of talks.

France, jointly with Russia and the United States, is one of the
countries co-chairing the Minsk Group, created by the Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to promote progress in
the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
