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.
