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

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

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
