Azeri leader, OSCE mediators discuss Karabakh

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has received the US, French and
Russian co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group and the personal envoy of
the OSCE chairman-in-office, Andrzej Kasprzyk, the Baku-based Day.az
website reported on 14 January.

The current state of the talks to resolve the Karabakh conflict was
discussed at the meeting, the website said.

Day.az said that the "OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs expect that a verbal
agreement between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian
President Robert Kocharyan be concluded before the presidential
election in Armenia [on 19 February 2008]".

On 14 January 2008, APA news agency reported the meeting between the
co-chairs and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov to learn
his attitude to proposals made by the mediators to the conflicting
sides at the foreign ministers’ meeting in Madrid on 29 November
2007.

The mediators will leave Baku for Yerevan and Xankandi (Stepanakert),
the administrative centre of breakaway Karabakh, APA said.

On 3 December 2007, Day.az quoted the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry as
saying that the principles presented in Madrid included a withdrawal
of Armenian troops from the Azerbaijani territories surrounding
Nagornyy Karabakh, return of refugees to their homes and restoration
of communications between the conflicting sides, among the other
issues.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
