ArmInfo. Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian has declared
that the proposals regarding the provisions of the Madrid document,
which the parties have not agreed on, will be made shortly. The
trilateral negotiations of the Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian
presidents in Sochi on January 25 resulted in the statement of the
OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs saying that Yerevan and Baku are to make
their proposals regarding the above provisions within two weeks.
Asked to comment on his Azerbaijani counterpart Mammadyarov’s statement
that the Madrid principles are acceptable for Baku, Edward Nalbandian
said that Azerbaijan had been refusing to take that document as a basis
of negotiations throughout the year. "Azerbaijanis had repeatedly made
relevant statements and denied the existence of this document," the
minister said. "I think that the Azerbaijani party will also make such
proposals and we will continue these discussions," E. Nalbandian said.
