/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov stated
that OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Steven Mann (U.S.), Bernard Fassier
(France) and Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) will meet in Vienna September
26-27. In his words, the mediators will determine the format and
location of the conduction of the next round of the negotiations
on the Karabakh conflict. “The further strategy will become clear
after the meeting. Either the talks will be continued at the level
of FMs or the mediators will pay a visit to the region,” Mammadyarov
said. Noting the existing possibilities for continuing the negotiations
the Azeri FM voiced opinion that Azerbaijan should still expand its
military potential. He also confirmed the position of official Baku
“to grant Nagorno Karabakh the status of autonomy within Azerbaijan.”
“The Armenian community is not alone. Azerbaijanis also line in
Karabakh and their opinion cannot be ignored. They should return to
Karabakh and line normal life”, Mammadyarov stated.
