/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Azerbaijan had been rejecting Madrid Principles for
a long time. Then it claimed to accept them with "some restrictions".

However, restrictions exceeded the number of clauses Azerbaijan agreed
to," Edward Nalbandian said during a joint news conference with his
Slovak counterpart Miroslav Lajcak.

"Yerevan and Baku periodically make working proposals on the revised
Madrid Principles," he added.

As to the recent meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in Paris,
Minister Nalbandian said it was constructive.

Mr. Lajcak stated for his part that the European Union closely watches
the Karabakh talks. "The EU supports resolution of the conflict on
the basis of Madrid Principles but doesn’t intend to directly engage
in the negotiation process," he said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
