Azerbaijan will continue talks in line with the Madrid principles
on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, if its upgraded version
meets the country’s national interests, the governing New Azerbaijan
Party (NAP) said, Trend News reports.

"As the upgraded version of the Madrid principles has not been yet
publicized, it is too difficult to comment on it. But if this version
meets Azerbaijan’s national interests, the country will continue
the talks in line with these principles," the NAP Deputy Executive
Secretary Mubariz Gurbanli said.

Gurbanli said if the upgraded version does not meet national interests,
Azerbaijan can offer to develop new principles and hold talks on
line with it. "Azerbaijan will not give up its basic position. The
Azerbaijani president said the conflict must be solved as part of
our country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. In this regard,
all solution versions must base on these factors," the NAP deputy
executive secretary said.
