"No amendments or alterations have been introduced to the Madrid
proposals of the OSCE Minsk Group on the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict", said Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbanyan.
"The rumors that Madrid proposals are amended or introduced changes,
are false. Additional proposals are made during discussions on
different issues and aspects, included into the Madrid principles
and that is all. No amendments or alterations are made to the Madrid
proposals", assured the Minister at a press conference on Monday.
He noted that the announcement that the Armenian Foreign Minister
received a document, introducing changes to the "Madrid proposals"
is not real.
According to the Minister, "The Foreign Ministry got a paper, related
to Madrid proposals, which does not, however, speaks of any changes
in the proposals".
At the same time Nalbandyan assured that numerous papers of the kind
are received during the negotiation process.
"If we make all these papers public, there is no sense of talks
and they will be held by way of papers. We continue talks on the
resolution of the Karabakh conflict on the basis of Madrid proposals
as is fixed in the Helsinki statement of the OSCE Foreign Ministers
and the statement of the OSCE MG co-chairs", noted he.
