YEREVAN. July 30 (Interfax) – The Armenian authorities are doing
everything possible to ensure the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-
Karabakh conflict, the country’s Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandian
said.
"We are doing everything in our power to make sure that the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is resolved peacefully, and we hope that
the problem will be solved solely by peaceful methods. We attach a
great importance to solution of this conflict and discuss all changes
surrounding this issue with the Nagorno-Karabakh leaders," Nalbandian
told a press conference on Wednesday.
"Today I am going to Moscow where on August 1 I will have a meeting
with Azerabaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov at the
proposal of the co-chairmen of the OSCE (Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe) Minsk Group that mediates the Nagorno-
Karabakh conflict," Nalbandian said.
The meeting will focus on "those proposals that were made by the
mediators in Madrid and approved by the Armenian and Azeri presidents
at their meeting in St. Petersburg," he said.
The co-chairmen will hold separate meetings with the Armenian and
Azeri foreign ministers in Moscow, the ministers will meet one-on-
one and in a more extended format, Nalbandian said.
