The Declaration signed by presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia
in Moscow on 2 November is an important document and reflects the
main points of the talks carried out so far, stressed the spokesman
of Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim at the briefing held
at the Ministry on 2 November.

The talks needed a ground for higher level of talks on resolution
of the conflict, he underlined. It therefore necessitated signing
of such Declaration at such level. The core of the Declaration is
that the conflict can be solved in political ways. And, of course,
it should have its points and terms, too. The document presents these
necessary terms, Mr. Ibrahim emphasized.

Azerbaijans policy bases on realities, development and national
interests. The conflict should be solved on the principle of
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the signed Declaration
reaffirms this, he underlined.

Khazar Ibrahim reminded that there are international legal norms and
principles and also documents and resolutions adopted in the frame
of these principles. According to him, this standpoint is all the
same in the international documents.

Azerbaijan has respect for the international laws and adheres to
settlement of the conflicts on the base of international norms and
principles.
