"The real solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be reached
if the two parties showed constructive approach and take into
consideration the territorial integrity of states under international
law principles," Foreign Ministry’s press secretary Khazar Ibrahim
said.

"There is a real paper on the table. I suppose Azerbaijan will not
step back. We could be close to a resolution. I can assure you we
have never been this close."

According to the Foreign Ministry press secretary, Azerbaijan
demonstrated such constructive approach.

"To achieve the mentioned ideal settlement of the problem, Armenia
should practically carry out opinions and thesis which is often
uttered by it," he underlined.

The diplomat said in this case, a solution based on realities can
be reached.

Armenian parliament speaker Tigran Torosian called the best solution
to the conflict based on conformation of nations’ self-determination
and territorial integrity principles.
