Karabakh issue
Liberty Radio stated that Elmar Mamediarov, Azeri foreign minister
refused to answer the question put by journalists concerning
the probability of holding a referendum for defining the status
of Nagorno Karabakh. He stated that the issue of the referendum
shouldn’t be discussed separately from the other elements of the
conflict settlement. “About 7-9 elements are being discussed within the
framework of the Prague Process. There is some progress looming over
some of the elements. The issues of returning the occupied territories
and the refugees, as well as restoration of the communication between
Azerbaijan and Nakhijevan is on the agenda of the negotiations,”
Elmar Mamediarov said.
