    Armenia Wants to Postpone Talks on Karabagh

    30/09/2004 08:46

    After the Astana meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents the
    official Yerevan has come out with an initiative to postpone the
    talks over the settlement of the Karabagh conflict.

    AssA-Irada -- Commenting on the Armenia's initiative, Deputy Foreign
    Minister Araz Azimov confirmed the fact that the Armenian side has
    requested to be granted a delay to analyze the results of the talks
    held so far. The date for the next talks with the Armenian side has
    not been ascertained yet, he said.

    Azimov underlined there is no need for a meeting of the Azerbaijani
    and Armenian presidents' special envoys as all issues related to the
    conflict settlement are discussed during the regular meetings of the
    two countries' foreign ministers.

    At the Astana summit official Baku called on Armenia to recognize
    Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and withdraw its armed forces from
    the occupied lands.

    Azimov stressed that the government of Azerbaijan is ready to ensure
    the security of the Armenian community in Karabagh if Armenia accepts
    the conditions laid by the Azerbaijani side.

    Armenia occupied former autonomous Nagorno-Karabakh region and also
    seven other Azerbaijani districts in 1991-94 war, forcing over
    700,000 Azerbaijanis to leave their homes. Despite an armistice
    signed in May 1994, no final solution has been achieved to the
    conflict between the two countries.
