Armenia is not holding negotiations with Turkey regarding the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenian Foreign Ministry
spokesman Tigran Balayan told Interfax on Wednesday.

"Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandian has said repeatedly that
negotiations on settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are proceeding
with mediation by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen on the basis of
the Madrid proposals," Balayan said in commenting on a report by
the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, which alleged that an agreement on
Nagorno-Karabakh had been reached with Turkey’s mediation.
