/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Official Yerevan agrees to basic principles of
the Karabakh conflict resolution submitted by the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-chairs, although some details still need to be clarified, Armenia’s
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told Kentron TV Channel.
"The document combines the principle of self-determination and
territorial integrity, at that Karabakh’s status is the key issue,"
he said.
The Minister said that Armenia is ready for a presidential meeting
during NATO summit in Bucharest on April 3-4. "Serzh Sargsyan has
agreed to meet. The matter depends on the Azeri President. At that
the agenda will include the resolution on Karabakh adopted by the UN
General Assembly on March 14."
"If Azerbaijan keeps on putting forth the principles of the resolution,
Serzh Sargsyan should announce senselessness of further talks. In
this case, Armenia will have to reconsider its approaches and focus
on ensuring NKR’s security. If Baku agrees to continue talks on
the basis of the OSCE MG proposals, we are ready to negotiate,"
the Minister said.
