The next round of talks between the Presidents of Azerbaijan and
Armenia on the resolution of the Karabakh problem might be held
in early 2009, said chief of department of external ties of the
presidential administration of Azerbaijan Novruz Mamedov, according
to Interfax-Azerbaijan.

"It seems to me that the next meeting of the presidents might be held
in early next year", noted Mamedov.

He said the world community is interested in the resolution of the
Karabakh conflict in the framework of the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan.

"On the whole, in the result of intensification of regional processes
and world community, Russia, Turkey, the United States, EU and
other international organizations – all of them are interested in
the resolution of the conflict in the framework of the territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan and Baku’s position in this direction has
consolidated.

Therefore, I consider that the resolution, adopted by each
international organization in this direction, must help us", noted
the representative of the presidential administration.

As for Russia’s role in the resolution of the conflict, Mamedov
noted that he does not consider that Moscow has occupied an opposite
position in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict in the framework
of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

"I think Russia attaches greater importance to the resolution of this
conflict in the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and norms of international law", noted Mamedov.
