Armenia is ready to continue talks on the peaceful resolution of
Nagorno Karabakh conflict on the basis of Madrid proposals on the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, said Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandyan.

"These proposals is a result of long efforts of the co-chairs and
their contacts with the conflict parties. The Madrid document really
contains a number of proposals, presented by the Foreign Ministers
of the two countries and OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and we are ready
to continue talks on their basis", noted Nalbandyan during the press
conference on Wednesday.

It should be reminded that in November of 2007 the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs presented basic principles of the peaceful resolution of
Nagorno Karabakh conflict for consideration to the Presidents of
Armenia and Azerbaijan. The co-chairs consider the "Madrid proposals"
to be fair and balanced.

The Armenian Foreign Minister said the existence of document and
developed proposals was also confirmed by Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov at the recent press conference in Moscow.

Nalbandyan said currently the development of new proposals by the
co-chairs, Armenia and Azerbaijan is not discussed. The Minister
noted once more that the country is ready to continue talks on the
basis of existing proposals.

"Azerbaijan should also be ready to it", resumed the Armenian Foreign
Minister.
