The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can only be resolved on the basis of a
phased approach and respect for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity,
Azeri Foreign Ministry spokesman Khazar Ibragim said on Monday.
"The following is on the negotiating table at the moment: the
conflict resolution should be phased, with Armenia withdrawing all
of its troops from the occupied lands, including Nagorno Karabakh,
in the first place, the return of Azeri refugees there, and only
after the relations between both [Armenian and Azeri] communities
are stabilized will the status of Nagorno Karabakh be determined,"
he told a briefing on Monday.
Azerbaijan's position on this issue remains unchanged, and the
status of Nagorno Karabakh can only be determined in the framework
of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, he said.

Last Friday, U.S. co-chairman of the OSCE (Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe) Matthew Bryza said after a meeting between
Azeri and Armenian foreign ministers that this status would be
determined by the vote Enhanced Coverage Linkingvote -Search using:

people themselves.
These are the basic principles mentioned earlier, the approximate
framework, Bryza said. Nothing has been agreed so far, he said.
What we have proposed is that Armenia should withdraw its troops from
the seven regions surrounding Nagorno Karabakh, peacekeepers should be
introduced to enable the return of displaced persons and refugees,
a corridor must be created which would link Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh, and a vote Enhanced Coverage Linkingvote -Search using:

We do not know exactly when this will happen, he added.
All these modalities should be discussed, said Bryza.
