Armenia submitted its proposals for updated version of Madrid
Principles to OSCE Minsk Group, RA President’s Aide Garnik Isagulyan
stated at March 4 press conference.

"Madrid Principles were intended for Karabakh conflict settlement,
while presently a new updated version of the Principles is drafted.

The parties were offered to submit their proposals on the document.

Armenia tendered its clear proposals, but according to the obtained
information, Azerbaijani President did not present any yet," he said.

As NEWS.am reported previously, Armenia and Azerbaijan should have
submitted to the mediators their proposals concerning the points
of the Madrid document they have not yet reached an agreement on,
after Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Sochi, February 1. The time is up,
however no information was available whether the sides presented
their proposals to the mediators.

"March 3, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan gave
an interview saying that Armenia submitted its proposals unlike
Azerbaijan," Isagulyan said adding that he is unaware of the proposals’
content.

A week ago Azerbaijan declared that has no objections to the updated
principles.
