The next meeting of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs mediating the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict is due in Vienna on Tuesday. Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov was informed of the date for the meeting during the UN
General Assembly's 60th session held in New York.
Mammadyarov said the venue and format of the next round of talks on
the conflict settlement should be determined at the meeting.
"Then it will become clear whether we will meet on the level of
foreign ministers or the co-chairs will visit Baku and Yerevan."
Touching on prospects for the peace talks, Mammadyarov said there are
still opportunities to continue the negotiating process. Azerbaijan
should continue the talks while strengthening its military power,
he said.
"The stronger Azerbaijan's economy, policy and army are, the more
beneficial it is for the country."
Mammadyarov said that Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers
agreed to keep the proposals that were not approved in the previous
Moscow and Kazan meetings confidential.
"Baku's position of principle is to grant the highest status of
autonomy to Karabakh provided that Azerbaijan's territorial integrity
is protected," he said.
