The main format of the negotiation process on the settlement of
Karabakh issue is unaffected. The parties will continue the work
around the "Madrid" principles represented by OSCE Minsk group
co-chairmanship.

It is also expected that the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian
Foreign Ministers will take place in New York, next week, in the
framework of the 63rd session of UN General Assembly.

OSCE Minsk Group French Chairman Bernard Facieses underscored that his
visit is aimed at the organization of that meeting. The co-Chairman
hoped that after the meeting between the Foreign Ministers of the two
countries favorable conditions would be established for the meeting of
the Presidents of the two countries after the Presidential elections
in Azerbaijan to take place in October.
