Baku. (Interfax-Azerbaijan) - Baku is prepared to enter into dialog
with the leadership of the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-
Karabakh on condition that Armenia withdraws from negotiations.
"In principle, this [dialog between Baku and Nagorno-Karabakh] could
be possible, but in this case the Armenian leadership must officially
declare its withdrawal from the conflict and the further non-
interference in it," spokesman for the Azerbaijani presidential
office Novruz Mamedov told journalists on Friday.
In this case, Baku would negotiate with Nagorno-Karabakh as an
integral part of Azerbaijan, he said.
Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh in the 1990s after a
bloody conflict with Armenia.
