/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Special Envoy of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office,
Ambassador Heikki Talvitie said in Baku that the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict should be resolved in the framework of Azerbaijan’s
territorial integrity while the status of Karabakh should be chosen on
the basis of territorial integrity and the right to self-determination.
These two principles are not mutually exclusive, according to him.
Amb. Talvitie also welcomed the contacts between Armenian and
Azerbaijani officials.
"We are hopeful that after the Azerbaijani presidential election,
the two countries will continue contacts to continue discussing the
principles that are on the agenda today," he said, Day.az reports.
