"The communities of Nagorno Karabakh can jointly discuss the ways
of resolution of the conflict. The Azerbaijani community proposed
to hold such meeting in the city of Shoushi," Head of the so called
Azeri community of Nagorno Karabakh Nizami Bakhmanov told RIA Novosti.

He said that "the Azerbaijani side positively assesses the suggestion
of the EU Special Envoy for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby to hold
discussions between the communities of the region on ways of the
conflict resolution."

According to Bakhmanov, "such a meeting can take place only in
Shoushi." "If these negotiations yield a positive result, the Azeri
community is ready to hold this kind of meetings with mediation of
international organizations," he noted. Bakhmanov also informed that
"the work in this direction is already under way and Peter Semneby will
discuss the question during the visits to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
