TBILISI, September 28 — Baku will welcome efforts of any countries,
including Georgia, in the Azerbaijani-Armenian settlement, Azerbaijani
Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov said at a Tuesday briefing in
Tbilisi in answer to the question if Tbilisi had offered mediation
in the Azerbaijani-Armenian settlement.
“The OSCE Minsk Group is the main body in the Karabakh settlement
negotiations. But we will welcome efforts of any countries, including
Georgia, to speed up the Karabakh settlement process,” he said.
Georgian Foreign Minister Salome Zurabishvili said at the briefing
that Tbilisi “is interested in progress at the Karabakh settlement
negotiations.” “Settlement of that conflict, the same as settlement
of conflicts on the Georgian territory, will contribute to the general
stabilization in the Caucasus,” she said.
