New proposals are unlikely to sound during Washington's conversations
on resolution of Armenian-Azeri conflict, Trend reports quoting Azeri
Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov, who was speaking in Moscow
commenting the forthcoming official visit of Azeri President to the
USA.
«Positions Azerbaijan was standing on last 15 years remain the same.
We always stated and keep stating that the problem shall be resolved
in compliance with international legislation and resolutions issued
by UN Security Council and OSCE. There is no doubt that if we want to
resolve the conflict once and for all, the resolution shall be based
on legislation alone. Arbitrators are trying to find contact points
to get us closer», - minister said.
Speaking on «self-determination» of Nagorno-Karabakh population,
Mamedyarov said it didn't imply any breach of territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan. «Self-determination of nation or a national minority
is performed under the territorial integrity, and Azerbaijan, in
turn, is eager to provide the highest level of autonomy to Armenian
minority within Nagorno-Karabakh. This practice is well-known and is
utilized worldwide», - Foreign Minister said.
Mamedyarov said also of a broad range of issues regarding mutual
cooperation, as well as international and regional development, to be
spoken of during the forthcoming visit of Azeri president Ilham
Aliyev to the USA. The minister said one of the main topics would be
conflict resolution on Caucasus. During the visit presidents will
also speak of power security, fight against international terrorism
and Azerbaijan's participation in anti-terrorist coalition.
