    In the interests of peace, stability and security in the region, which
    may allow pushing ahead the negotiations, Azerbaijan is ready for
    each format of negotiations regarding settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict, Chief of the Press and Information Policy Department of
    the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Tahir Tagizade told Trend.

    The Russian co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Y.Merzlyakov announced
    that the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers in
    New York will not happen. There have been planned separate meetings
    of co-chairs with Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers Elmar
    Mammadyarov and Vardan Oskanyan.

    According to the Russian co-chair, the meetings with foreign ministers
    are scheduled for September 25. They want to resume the direct contacts
    between the conflict sides to renew the negotiation process.

    Touching up on the statement of the Russian co-chair regarding the
    issue that including Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the agenda of the
    U.S. Assembly General is counter-productive, Tagizade emphasized
    that is not the position of all co-chairs, but concrete opinion of
    Russian side.

    It should be mentioned that the representatives of GUAM countries
    (Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldavia) presented to the voting
    of the Assembly General the issue of including a new clause in the
    agenda of the 61st session of the U.N. Assembly General. In result,
    16 countries, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Turkey, Great
    Britain and USA, supported to include the issue in the agenda. At the
    same time, 15 countries, including Russia, Algeria, Armenia, Greece,
    Indonesia and South Africa, voted against this. 65 states abstained
    from voting, and 96 countries were absent in the voting.
