The foreign minister of Armenia and Azerbaijan Edward Nalbandyan and
Elmar Mammadyarov will meet on 1 August in Moscow, Edward Nalbandyan,
the Armenian foreign minister said during the press conference on
30 July, Novosti-Armenia reported. "The meeting is organized by
the co-chairmen of OSCE Minsk Group. The ministers will meet both
tet-a-tet and with all three co-chairmen," minister said.
According to Nalbandyan, the parties will discuss Madrid proposals
of the co-chairmen on the basis of which the presidents of Armenia
and Azerbaijan stated their determination to continue the talks on
the resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
In November 2007, co-chairmen of OSCE Minsk Group presented basic
principles of the peaceful resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
to the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The co-chairmen believe
that the "Madrid proposals" are fair and balanced.
Nalbandyan said that Armenia is ready to continue talks further on
the basis of Madrid proposals.
"This is the way which will help us resolve the conflict," the Armenian
diplomat said.
The previous meeting of the two ministers took place on 6 June during
the informal summit of CIS head of states in St Petersburg.
