PanARMENIAN.Net – U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton emphasized
that all principles of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement proposed
by OSCE Minsk Group are viewed in the framework of a single package,
Armenian Foreign Minister said.
Edward Nalbandian made the statement in response to the question on
Azerbaijani demand to “withdraw troops” to continue negotiations.
“Azerbaijan holds a preposterous position requiring implementation
of one element, whilst offering to discuss the rest later. In this
respect, Armenia’s stance is similar to that of the co-chairs.
Everything should be considered in a package,” Minister Nalbandian
told a joint press conference with his Lithuanian counterpart
Audronius Azubalis.
He further noted that Lithuanian parliament addressed the Soviet
authorities back in 1989 with a request to recognize Karabakh’s
right to self-determination, handing the copy of the document to the
Lithuanian official.
