Baku, April 24, AssA-Irada
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group brokering settlement to the
Armenia-Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict have made new
proposals concerning two issues that were not agreed during the latest
round of talks between the two countries’ presidents in Rambouillet,
France in February, officials said.
The suggestions serve to moving forward the negotiating process,
Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said. He said it is too early to
say whether or not Baku will accept the proposals, but termed them as
“interesting”.
“We are evaluating the ideas and will state our own suggestions in
this regard,” the minister told ATV channel.
Mammadyarov stressed that these issues will also be discussed during
President Ilham Aliyev’s visit to the United States, which starts
on Tuesday.
He reminded that the OSCE mediators are due to meet in Moscow on May 2,
followed by their visits to the region.
