"The core principles of the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
will be debated at the meeting with Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan in Belgrade," Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said while
commenting on his meeting with his Armenian counterpart.
"Last time we met with Armenian Foreign Minister in Geneva. We try
to work on the main principles of the settlement and approve these
principles on any consensus. I can not say that all the problems will
be solved in Belgrade. The negotiations will last until there is a
result," he said.
Elmar Mammadyarov said the date and place of the meeting was determined
at OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs’ proposal.
Commenting on US Assistant Secretary Daniel Fried’s statement "In
case Azerbaijan starts war, it would harm all the progress achieved
by now," Foreign Minister said that Azerbaijan intends to achieve
peaceful solution of the problem.
"As Foreign Minister I will make all efforts for the peaceful solution
to the conflict. But not everything depends on me. Much depends on
Armenia too," the minister underlined.
