The key issue of talks on the peaceful resolution of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict is a status of Nagorno Karabakh, which should be settled by
way of plebiscite.
The due announcement was made by Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandyan.
"This will allow the population of Nagorno Karabakh to express its
will about the future status of the country", the Minister told
reporters on May 15.
Commenting on the principles of the Azerbaijani side on the conflict
resolution, recently voiced by Azerbaijan’s deputy foreign minister
Araz Azimov, Armenian Foreign Minister said that they have nothing
to do with the document, which is on the negotiation table.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan has previously announced that
Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be settled in the framework of the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and definition of the Nagorno
Karabakh status requires return of the Azerbaijani population to
the area.
"Araz Azimov has merely voiced his opinion and opinion of the
Azerbaijani side. By repeating its principle for five, ten or twenty
times, Azerbaijani side will not be able to include it into the
negotiation document", said Nalbandyan.
He noted that proposals on the resolution of the conflict, which
have become a result of the efforts of the co-chairs has recently
been worked out.
"It is important to continue talks on the basis of these
proposals. Armenian side has already stated readiness to continue talks
on the basis of these proposals. We will try to attach new stimulus
to all past achievements and reach success in the directions, on
which there has not been any progress", the Foreign Minister assured.
