Baku. Lachin Sultanova-APA. "Moscow Declaration contains basic
principles for solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict", Chief of the
International Relations Department of the President’s Office Novruz
Mammadov told APA.

The Department Chief said that US Co-chair Matthew Bryza also confirmed
the coinciding of the Declaration with the basic principles. "It is
very important document and beginning of the new phase of 14-year
long, complicated and difficult process of negotiations. The Moscow
Declaration made clear the negotiations held until now and determined
further duties of the sides".

Mammadov thinks that impact of the document on acceleration of the
process is possible. "I think the process should be accelerated because
of Russia’s active involvement in the process and the document signed
directly by the presidents. There is such point in the document that
the Minsk Group co-chairs will intensify their mediating mission
further. I think the processes have to lead to that".
