Necessity to continue peaceful negotiations will be known on the Eve
of OSCE Minsk group co-chairmen ` s visit to the region, head of the
Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh told Trend.

A meeting between the OSCE Minsk group co-chairmen was held in
Istanbul on March 20.

Bahramov said that during the OSCE meetings in Washington and
Istanbul sides agreed on necessity to continue peaceful negotiations.
Co-chairmen may soon visit the region as well, he said. `Co-chairmen
might soon organize the meeting between foreign ministers of
Azerbaijan and Armenia,’ Bahmanov said.

OSCE Minsk group, American co-chairman, Stephen Mann has earlier
announced that the committee will do everything possible to achieve
the positive results this year. `All meetings are held behind the
closed doors and Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministries do not
comment the talks. However, position of the Azerbaijani president,
Ilham Aliyev is to continue the peaceful process. On the other hand
the president has been always saying that if the talks will not yield
positive results Azerbaijan will change its policy. As for now, fate
of the talks will be decided on the Eve of the co-chairmen `s visit
to the region, `he said.
