Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has declared that GUAM,
which includes Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova, anticipates
confirmations from the UN member states that Kosovo cannot become
a precedent for the resolution of the Karabakh, Georgian-Abkhazian,
South Ossetian and Transnistrian conflicts.

"We have thoroughly discussed the issue during the meeting of the GUAM
Foreign Ministers in Madrid. The draft resolution has been submitted
to the UN in early December, and currently consultations with other
countries are underway," Mammadyarov told journalists.

In the above-mentioned draft the UN member states are suggested to
"confirm the position among the international community that the
conflicts over GUAM territory must be solved within the framework of
the territorial integrity of those countries."

"In the resolution we suggest that all countries confirm that the
conflicts in Moldova, Georgia and Azerbaijan can be solved only
within the framework of territorial integrity of those countries,"
the Azeri Foreign Minister underlined.
