    YEREVAN TO UPGRADE STAND ON KARABAKH PROBLEM - PREMIER

    Interfax

    Russia

    Yerevan needs to upgrade its stand on the Karabakh problem, Prime
    Minister Tigran Sargsyan told the national parliament.It is necessary
    to upgrade the Armenian position on Karabakh. The Armenian Foreign
    Ministry has received instructions to that effect.

    There are certain problems, as comments of some officials are not
    true occasionally. Thus, we need to update the Armenian official
    policy on Karabakh, he said.

    Fundamentals of the position will be presented to the Armenian
    parliament next week, Sargsyan said.

    Meanwhile, Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian and Azerbaijani
    Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov discussed Karabakh settlement
    in Helsinki.

    The sides stressed the importance of the positive atmosphere formed by
    the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in St. Petersburg on June 6 and
    in Moscow on November 2 and further negotiations based on the Madrid
    proposals and assisted by the cochairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group.

    The negotiations aim to find points of contact and to resolve the
    conflict peacefully, says a report of the Armenian Foreign Ministry
    received by Interfax on Thursday.

    OSCE Minsk Group Cochairmen Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia), Matthew Bryza
    (the U.S.) and Bernard Fassier (France) attended the Helsinki meeting
    of the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers.

    Distorted comments coming from Azerbaijan and disregard of principles
    spelled out by the Moscow declaration on Karabakh are damaging for
    the efficiency of the negotiations, Nalbandian told OSCE Parliamentary
    Assembly rapporteur on Karabakh Goran Lenmarker.

    The latter confirmed the Assembly support to peaceful settlement of
    the Karabakh conflict, the Armenian Foreign Ministry said.
