international law" and "revival of talks on the highest level".

resolution of the Karabakh problem between the sides by way of a
dialogue and in the frames to be adopted by both sides. The meeting of

declaration", says the statement.
"At the same time, being the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, Turkey will
further continue working with the concerned parties on the resolution
of the Karabakh conflict, which poses a great threat to security
and stability in our region and will continue supporting Minsk Group
resolution efforts," says the statement.
