Azeri, Armenian talks on Karabakh stalled – ministry official

Baku, 26 October: The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on the Karabakh
settlement have brought nothing to Baku with themselves, Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry spokesman Xazar Ibrahim said today while commenting
on the talks between the Azerbaijani president, foreign minister and
the co-chairs.

The co-chairs brought nothing to Baku and went back to Yerevan with
"the reiterated and clear-cut position of Azerbaijan", Ibrahim said.

"Regrettably, since the St Petersburg meeting between the Armenian
and Azerbaijani presidents, the talks have actually ground to a
standstill. The co-chairs returned Yerevan in order to move the talks
forward. For the time being, there is no fresh proposal on the
negotiating table and work is being carried out on the basis of the
old principles," Ibrahim said.
