the key principles of negotiations last week. However, some issues
are still to be specified. Therefore, we shall meet in Strasbourg and
present our position. We shall see what the Armenian position will be,
the Minister said.

Mammadayrov called Armenia’s statements, saying Azerbaijan will make
concessions, "ridiculous". According to him, such statements are
intended for "inner use" on the threshold of election in Armenia. He

International Law, the UN resolutions and OSCE decisions. He also
informed of the coming visit of OSCE Chair-in-Office to the region.
