"Azerbaijan and Armenia have not yet submitted their proposals on
uncoordinated points of Madrid principles to the co-chairs", OSCE
Minsk Group’s Russian Co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov told Azerbaijani APA.
According to the source, answering the question on co-chairs’ visit
to the region, the diplomat stated that they were waiting for the
proposals of both sides. "First, we should receive the proposals of
both parties, and then we will think about the visit", Merzlyakov
underlined.
At the same time, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Elkhan
Polukhov told Day.az that "Azerbaijan sees prospect in negotiations
held to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict".
"The resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict depends on to what
extent the Minks Group co-chairs are active," he said. According to
him, intensity in the negotiation process, which was observed last
year, should be preserved throughout this year, too.
"It gives hope for some progress in the negotiations. Azerbaijan,
for its part, is ready to maintain this momentum," he added.
